Invented over 2,500 years ago, Go is the oldest, most continually played game in the world--and an integral part of Asian culture. The popularity of Go in the West has skyrocketed since it has been featured in a number of hit movies, TV series, books, and on major Internet gaming sites.

Using black and white stones on a square board, the object of Go is to surround and claim your opponent's territory without being taken over yourself. Go requires the highest powers of rational thought, and players believe the game enhances one's mental, artistic, and even spiritual life.

In this contemporary approach to the traditional game of Go, author Peter Shotwell, an internationally-known expert, teachs readers the fundamentals and strategies of Go, and use a series of teaching games to demonstrate the game's beautiful complexity. Go! also in-cludes a history of the game and essays on the role of Go in Asian culture.

Readers looking for new challenges will want to make a place for this ancient pastime in their lives.
