You've probably heard that the game of Go has its origin in China and it's known as Weiqi there. However Go comes from the Japanese name "Igo" and all of its history seems to be centered around Japan. Why? Let's find out.

It blows my mind that a board game was State sponsored.

It shouldn't. Chess has national teams and Olympiads. Russian has sponsored chess as their national sport for years and recruited and trained players. Fischer vs Spassky was a world event and Spassky was state sponsored. So board games being state sponsored shouldn't a surprise to anyone with a cursory knowledge of 20th Century history. It was only 50 years ago.

It's not that odd when you think about go as a kind of art and science how they used to look at it back then. Rulers frequently sponsored artists and scientists.

@@chessthecatyes in the Soviet era, the government would just pay you if you were a Soviet citizen who could defeat good Western players (and make the State and ideology look good).

The erasure of Korea here-where Go showed up 200 years earlier than Japan-is just kind of perplexing.

stone scoring and group tax is more natural to the game than rigid Japanese rules

@plrc4593 27 күн бұрын

Group tax is some oddity. I don't get it. I find the Japanese rules very elegant.

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rules_of_Go for a comprehensive answer. They are different, but it usually does not affect the result or the strategy.

@@PingPingTravel The rules ostensibly differ very much, but in practice - they don't. They yield almost the same game. In practice Chinese rules are much easier for beginners and the Japanese are harder.

Correct me if I am wrong, but in your video, you mentioned that Japan created the game that we know today which is an empty board and no pre-arranged position. I think that China and Korea also had an empty board. Only chess and chess variants such as Chinese xiangqi do have pre-arranged positions.@@PJTraill
