Go
Four thousand years old, and it fits in nine lines
Place a stone. Surround. Breathe or be taken. The oldest board game alive, at the prompt.
Go on a 9x9 board: stones go down on the intersections, groups live by their liberties, and the player who encloses more of the board wins. Captures happen when the last breathing space closes - simple rules, endless weather.
Play the house engine as Black or share the keyboard in pass-and-play. Moves are typed the way Go players say them: e5, pass, resign. Area scoring settles the board when both sides pass.
