&01                      IGO the program, is about GO the game.
                           ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Go is sometimes called a war game.  The players are battling to control
    `territory' on the game board.  The winner will be the player who ends
    up with the most territory, i.e., surrounded empty intersection points.
&06
    The game starts with an empty board.  At his turn each player places a
    marker (called a `stone') of his color wherever he chooses on the board.
    Once a stone is placed it is never moved.  Each player will be attempting
    to build fences that surround more empty points than his opponent does.
               . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
&12
    Stones can be captured and held as `prisoners' during the game and, at
    game's end, a count of prisoners held is added to that player's score.
&15
                         `Example Game' does not have any prisoner captures.
                         `Advanced Game' does, but you will probably find it
                          best to view the `Example Game' and the `Way To Go'
                          sections before trying to understand `Advanced Game'.

&05          The game you are about to see will give you a
          quick overview of the nature of the game of go.
&09      Do not be distressed if the comments about this example game
      seem confusing at first.   Please be satisfied to get just a
      first impression and move along to the tutorial which follows.
&13          Later, when you have tried playing the game
          on your own, come back again for another look.

&03  Black makes the first move.
&06      For this first move, Black chooses a point in a corner area,
&07      modestly away from the edges.  He is aiming to enclose territory
&08      (unoccupied points) between his stone and the edges it is near.
&22          proceed

&03   White makes the second move.
&06         Notice that White has stayed away from Black's chosen corner.
&07
&08           At the very beginning it is usually better to start an
&09           area of your own rather than play close to your opponent.

&03
&05             Black's move #3, in conjunction with move #1, aims at
&06             enclosing a large area along the right side of the board,
&07             or along the top, depending on where White plays next.

&03                            White responds with move #4.
&05
&06       With this move White is laying claim to the lower left corner area.
&07       It also will enable his next move to expand this potential territory
&08       either to the right at the bottom or upward along the left side,
&09       depending on where Black plays next.
$w435
&01                          *              *              *             move #5
&03
&06                 Black now decides that his best prospects for sur·
&07                 rounding territory are along the lower right side.
&08

&22          proceed
&23

&04                         After black #5 there remains one
&05                         conspicuously large unspoken∙for
&06                         area on the board, the upper left.
&07
&08                     It is White's turn.  Where should he play?

&06           White is aiming to enclose much of the upper left corner area.

&05           Black #7 is designed to strengthen the gap between #3 and #5.
&06
&07                If Black ignores this weakness and plays elsewhere,
&08                White could push into Black's lower right corner
&09                and substantially reduce Black's intended territory.
&14 Remember, `territory'
&15 is unoccupied points
&16 fully enclosed by a
&17 player's own stones
&18 at the game's end.

&04                   Like #7, move #8 helps to connect two widely
&05                   spaced friendly stones, #4 & #6.  This point
&06                   is in the unsettled middle area between the
&07                   two opposing lines that are taking shape.  It
&08                   helps whichever player gets to this spot first.

&01                  Notice that opposing `walls' have begun to take
&02                  shape.   Which side now appears to be ahead?
&03                  (ie: Who has more empty points between his

&06    Draw an imaginary line roughly through the White stone line∙up and
&07    roughly estimate the number of unoccupied points to the left of this line.
&08    Then do the same for Black on the right side of the board and compare.

&03              Now that the large area claims have been staked out,
&04              fighting will commence over who can squeeze the other
&05              into a smaller territory than he now appears to possess.
&06
&07    Each player must now concentrate on solidifying the weak spots in
&08    his own wall structure, and exploiting his opponent's weaknesses
&09    (i.e. places where a player could push into his opponent's claim).

&03                       Black pushes toward White's enclosure.
&04
&05                       This is a serious threat.  With an extra
&06                       move or two here Black could cut White's

&04                         White parries Black's thrust, and

&02                      The game finishes with White's move #26.
&04  Black can find no move that would add to his territory or reduce White's.
&05  So Black passes his turn.  Now, finding nowhere to play, White also passes.
&07    In the game of go, when both players pass in succession the game is over.
&08    The players now proceed to count the score (fully enclosed empty points).

            THE PROCEDURE FOR PLAYING GO
&09    These chapters present example∙questions designed to lead to
    an easy understanding of go.  Try your best on each question.
    Review the appropriate explanation if your answer is incorrect.
&13    Go is normally played on a 19 by 19 line grid.  The diagrams
&14    in this tutorial are all on small grid areas so that you can
    concentrate on typical local area situations one at a time.
&18                              Pace yourself.  Make sure that this

&04    Once a stone is placed on a point it is never moved to another point.
&05    When a stone of the same color is placed on an adjacent point the two
&06    stones are CONNECTED.  Once connected, stones form an inseparable UNIT.
&07    Thus a single stone, or any number of connected stones, make up a unit.

&03   Ans. to Dia. 14:   `c' is correct.
&05         When a black stone is played on point c it will destroy the

&03      The following diagram shows the situation if black plays at `a'.
&04      Notice that this capture opens new liberties for the black units.
&07         |   Whenever a unit of connected stones  |
&08         |   loses its last liberty, the stones   |
&09         |   of that unit are all captured.       |
&12                                Black captures three
&13                                white `prisoners'.
&14                                At game's end these
&15                                will count as EXTRA

&01         Players often `extend' in order to avoid capture.  The added stone
&02         may itself reach to new liberties as in the preceding diagrams.
&04             Or, the new stone may enable a confined unit to connect to
&05             another outside unit and thus to gain needed liberties.

&03   Whenever a unit has only one liberty remaining it is in ATARI (ah tah ree).
&05 Problem:  How many atari's can you count in the past twelve situation diagrams?
&08                  Go back to `Capture' (press F3).  Start with
&09                  diagram 14.  Move forward again to this page.
&11                  Jot down the diagram numbers for each diagram
&12                  situation which shows a unit to be in ATARI.
&14                         How many atari's do you count?
&17    Answer 
-p42
&02 Ans:    There are SIX examples of `atari' in this series of diagrams.
&03            (If you counted more than six you may have included
&04             some of the duplicate diagrams shown.   Try again.)
&08     A player who has just had a unit put into atari is not required to try to
&09     protect that unit.   Neither is the other side ever required to capture.
&10     Such stones may remain in atari indefinitely.
&12         As you begin to play go, it is instructive and courteous to
&13         warn your opponent as soon as a unit of his is put into atari.
&16              ATARI is to go as CHECK is to chess.
&17              Saying `atari' means: `As the board
&18              stands, I can capture one or more of
&19              your stones on my next play.'

&02                  Race to Capture
&05     In each game the players spend much of their time trying to arrange
&06     escape for friendly stones and/or preventing escape of enemy stones.
&08     Points that lie under captured stones are territory for the captor.
&09     Therefore the question of capture∙vs∙escape is vitally important.
&11  Problem:  It is black's play.  Where will he move in the situation below?

&08
&09                 Since this move will destroy the last liberty of the

&07       We will now examine `safe' enclosures, and some that are not safe.
&09          In go the players always seek to encircle territory.  Often
&10          both will be after the same territory at the same time.
&12                   Sooner or later opposing stones meet
&13                   and begin to push against each other.
&15                Liberties appear and
&16                disappear with each play.
&17                The conscientious player
&18                keeps constant track of
&19                the liberties in each
&20                unit involved in these
&21                territorial battles.
-p47
&02         Since stones are captured only when opposing stones occupy all
&03         of their liberties, then it follows that:  STONES CANNOT BE
&04         CAPTURED IF ENEMY STONES CANNOT OCCUPY ALL THEIR LIBERTIES.
&06         Stone groups can have `safe liberties', liberties which cannot
&07         be filled by the opponent.  Such liberties are always surrounded
&08         by friendly stones.  Hence they MUST lie inside an `enclosure'.

&03         If black should attempt to play on either point inside the
&04         white enclosure his stone would have NO LIBERTIES, while white
&05         would still have one liberty.  The white stones cannot be sur-
&06         rounded completely (outside AND inside) because black cannot
&07                                 occupy BOTH of

 liberties in a

&02   Ans. Dia. 34:    YES.
&03                            These black stones are very well enclosed.
&04         Black cannot surround any points or capture any white stones.
&05         However, white can fill all of black's four liberties whenever
&06         he wishes without endangering any white stones.
&07
&08         Thus we see that stones can die from being loosely surrounded
&09         even if they are not absolutely smothered.
&11 Stones effectively
&12 die when all their
&13 liberties CAN be
&14 taken, whether or
&15 not this is done
&16 at once.

&05   Hint:  Count the liberties of each unit involved in a confrontation.
&06          The color with more liberties will overpower the one with fewer.
&09          Now, how many dead white stones do you count?  How many black?

&05  Ans. Dia. 49:  NO.
&07                Two stones are in atari, one white and one black.
&09                Also, the walls being formed between opposing colors
&10                are incomplete.  Critical points are marked below.
&12                Who moves first at each of these points will make a

&04     A white stone at `a' will separate black into two groups.  Then each
&05     part will need to make two eyes in order to live.  Then, when black
&06     makes a move to secure one side, white will attack the other side.

&02 Ans. Dia. 50:   YES.  Black may safely pass his turn.
&04    This example may look confusing at first since it brings together all
&05    the concepts discussed so far.  We will look at it one step at a time.
&07    Look at the two white stones in the upper left corner.  They have two
&08    liberties, no eyes, and no hope of capturing black stones.  They are dead.
&10    Next look at the two black stones in the upper right.  They too are dead.
&12      Black's living stones are connected through the middle of the board.
&13      They have one eye in the lower right and another in the upper left,
&14      where the two dead white stones lie.   This black unit is alive.

&02  Notice that WHITE has two enclosures, one in the upper right and one in the
&03  lower left.  White's enclosures are NOT connected to each other.  Look to see
&04  that white has two eyes in each of these enclosures.  In the upper right
&05  there is one eye in the area where the two dead black stones lie and one eye
&06  just to the left of that.  In the lower left corner, the single white stone
&07  divides that enclosure into two eyes.
&09  Notice that no stones are in atari along the territorial borders.  All the
&10  walls are complete, blocking out opposing stones.
&12  We have just said that black is ready to PASS at this juncture in the game.
&13  What about white?

&04
&05    The game in Dia. 50 is finished.  If either side decides to fortify its
&06    defenses further it will merely occupy its already enclosed points with
&07    its own stones, thereby reducing its surrounded countable territory.
&08
&09            (As a game progresses, outside liberties become less and
&10             less important and enclosed points become all-important.)

&03      Often at the end some vacant points remain between opposing walls
&04      which neither side can enclose.  These are called dame (dah meh).
&05      Dame are neutral points, owned by neither side.  At game's end the
&06      players will fill these dame, continuing in turn until all points
&07      on the board are completely enclosed by one side or the other.

&02                  Reaching Agreement
&04   After one opponent passes, the other may still play, in which case the
&05   turns continue until both pass in sequence.  Then the players must agree
&06   with each other about the status of each unit on the board (whether it
&07   is alive or dead as it stands).
&09   If they cannot agree the play resumes until the situation becomes completely
&10   clear to both.  In every case continued play will resolve any questions
&11   by steadily reducing the number of liberties.  Eventually each unit will
&12   either lose all its liberties or it will enclose only safe points.
&15             Another way to end a game is by resignation.
&16             A player may resign when he sees no prospect
&17             of winning, and he should do so voluntarily,
&18             out of consideration for his opponent.

&04                 ─────────
&06        First verify that all dame have been filled, (with extra stones,
&07        NOT prisoners).  Remove from the board, as prisoners, all stones
&08        which are dead as they stand.  Count each vacant point for the
&09        side that has surrounded it.  Subtract from black's point count
&10        the black prisoners held by white.   Do the same for white.
&12             Whichever side has more net points, wins the game.

&01              In Dia. 54 below white has captured the troublesome
&02              black stone and appears to have connected his stones.
&04          But now white's stone is in atari, and it is black's turn.
&05          It would appear that black could immediately recapture white,
&06          then white could recapture, etc.  In order to prevent this
&07          meaningless sequence, there is a Rule of Ko which states:
&08            `A PLAYER MAY RECAPTURE IN KO ONLY AFTER
&09               MAKING AT LEAST ONE PLAY ELSEWHERE'
#11,11,24,         Dia. 54
&12  After he has played

&15  then go back to

&01                      ─  Advanced game, with commentary.  ─

&03                            White chooses another corner.

&10very beginning
&11neither player
&12wastes his time
&13making a second
&14move near to his
&15first.  Unless he

&03              Black's second move is at a `3∙3 point'.   (The first two
&04              moves were placed on 3∙4 points.)  This tight∙in∙the∙corner
&05              position will prove very secure against future White attacks.
&06
&09But opening moves
&10on the 3∙4 or 4∙4

&13usually provide

&03   With White's second move we see that a start has been made in each of the

&02         Now White makes a truly aggressive move.  Black must respond.
&03         If he does not, White will undoubtedly place another stone
&04         closer to the right edge.  This would confine Black into a
&05         relatively small area in the lower right corner.
&09A move like this,

&06     Loose structures like White's widely spaced stones here can be vulnerable.
&09Wide spacing of
&10moves is risky
&11but challenging.
&12In the hands of
&13a skillful player
&14this can be the
&15way to victory.

&02
&03                White makes a crucial move.  His potential territory
&04                along the left and lower sides now begins to look huge.
&05
&06
&07
&08
&09However, it is
&10too early to
&11assume that
&12Black will not
&13find a way to
&14attack in this
&15area and thus
&16reduce White's
&17intended

&02
&03                     Black balances things out, creating a strong
&04                     formation along the right and top sides.

&10have been `gote'

&02      Again White takes the initiative with an aggressive move.  Given the
&03      chance, his next move would be to invade Black's large moyo on the right.
&04
&05      That would completely upset the balance of territorial claims which we
&06      have seen so far in this game.  Black MUST contain White's threat.
&09White knows that
&10Black will block
&11him out of his
&12moyo, but White
&13has a more subtle

&03            With this move, White aims to shut Black out of the center
&04            area, hoping to develop territory there.  If he succeeds,
&05            even partially, this could settle the game in White's favor.

&02                 Black decides it's time to invade White's upper left
&03                 corner to reduce his territory there.  He hopes thus
&04                 to compensate for White's strong∙looking center moyo.
&05
&06     Black must succeed in making two eyes in the very limited space available.
&09If he should fail,
&10the nice balance
&11we have seen so
&12far in this game
&13would be over.
&14White would still
&15have his corner

&03
             In the moves which follow white does not expect to kill
             black's group.  His aim is to confine black to a small area
             and, most importantly, to end up this local fight in sente.

&06
&07
&08
&09Black has no

&03    White puts pressure on the two∙stone black unit.  After this wrap∙around
&04    move black has only three liberties, and very little room left for eyes.

&03            Black must try to get at least one of his two needed eyes in
&04            the corner.   So he threatens to capture White's hane stone.
&05            White will be forced to connect his threatened stone.
&09If White does
&10not secure #18
&11Black can play
&12at the `' point
&13and thus trap it
&14against the
&15upper edge.

&09Black has taken
&10a vital point in
&11the middle of
&12White's eye space.
&13He aims to create
&14an internal black
&15unit of a shape
&16which, when
&17captured, will
&18leave a killable

&03               Now White makes a clever move which will save his skin.
&09White has put #41
&10in atari.  If he

&12will have his two

&14Black's turn and
&15he can simply

&09A black stone at
&10`7O'would cut off
&11the entire white
&12group in the lower
&13right corner, with
&14no room to make
&15two eyes. (A gain

&09Note that it

&14because White
&15could then play
&16at the #69 point
&17and this would

&11But White hopes to

&14to the `*' stone,

&06     Play begins with the go board empty of markers.  The black and white
     markers, called STONES, are placed alternately by the opposing players
     on the grid line intersections (not on the open squares) of the game
     board.  Once placed, a stone is never moved, but it may be captured.
     The player with the black stones moves first.  The weaker player may
     receive a handicap, where two or more stones are placed on the board
     in standard positions as the black player's first move.

&12       Shown here is a
       two stone UNIT.
       It has 6 LIBERTIES.
!9,9,31
&02      Each POINT (line intersection) on the go board is a valuable
&03      piece of territory.  When the game ends, the winner will be
&04      determined by counting completely surrounded unoccupied points.
&06   Stones that are adjacent along the lines, (not diagonals), form UNITS.
&07   An empty intersection adjacent to a stone is called a LIBERTY.  Every
&08   unit must have at least one liberty to LIVE.  When a unit's last liberty
&09   is filled its stones are removed from the board and held as PRISONERS.

&13      This white unit has
&14      two separate eyes.
&15      It cannot be captured.
!9,9,31
&02   A player may PASS any turn, but will normally not do so when there are
   more points to be made.  If the game is hopeless he may simply resign.
   Consecutive passes by each player end the game and the score is counted.
   The score for each player is one point for each empty intersection which
   he has surrounded minus a point for each prisoner his opponent has captured.

   A completely surrounded interior LIBERTY is called an EYE.  If a UNIT
   has two eyes it is safe from capture by the opponent.  During the game
   any unit that can make two or more eyes will live, and any unit that
   can't make two eyes will eventually be captured.

&01                 Strategy in Brief
&03     It is easiest to make territory in the corners, so the first few moves
&04     are generally in the corners, then along the sides.  The best moves
&05     for making territory are along the 3rd or 4th line from the edge.
&07           At each move there are four goals to consider:
&09        1) Surround territory.  (Get there before your opponent.)
&10        2) Prevent your opponent from surrounding territory.
&11        3) Attack or capture your opponent's stones.
&12        4) Prevent your own stones from being captured.
&14              The best moves will accomplish
&15              more than one goal at a time.
