Go is the most famous game coming from the Far East. This game is more than 2000 years old. World conflicts were evinced by sublimating them into a game of Go; the winner was considered to be in the right.

For ancient Chinese go-ban (the game board) was the symbol of the universe. The 361 points of intersection represented the days of the year, the 4 corners symbolized the seasons and the 72 intersections on the edges, the length of human life.
