Go Workshop (Age 12 and Over)
East Asia’s ancient strategy game: from the 9x9 board to 19x19, thinking in territory and connection.
Go is a territory game played with black and white stones; its rules can be learned in minutes, but mastering it takes a lifetime. For chess players, Go is an excellent complement that develops holistic and intuitive thinking alongside tactical calculation. The workshop starts on small 9x9 boards and moves to 13x13 and the standard 19x19 board as the basic ideas are learned.
How the workshop works
- One 120-minute workshop a week, with no more than 10 people
- Capturing, liberties, eyes, life and death
- Opening principles: corners, sides, centre
- Handicap stones so players of different strengths can play together
Who is it for?
Teenagers aged 12 and over and adults; no chess knowledge is needed. Players’ strength is tracked with Go’s own kyu-dan ranking system. Workshop members can use the club’s Go boards and library during club hours. Boards and stones are provided free for first-timers, and we suggest starter sets for those who want to buy their own.
Group goals
- Life-and-death problems
- Moving from 9x9 to 19x19
- Tracking your kyu rank
