Go is a strategic, two-player board game originating in ancient China between 2000 BC and 200 BC.
Go is a popular game in East Asia. The development of Internet play has served to increase notably its popularity throughout the rest of the world, in recent years. The English name Go originated from the Japanese character 碁. The Chinese name 圍棋 wéiqí roughly translates to the "Board Game of Surrounding (One's Opponent)", or, less literally, the "Enclosing Game".
