May 24th, 2009: The Second Boston Go Open is one of The North American Ing Masters Qualifiers
April 11 & 12, 2009 The Third GBCCA Youth Go Tournament & USYGC Qualifier
April 19 & 20, 2008 The Second GBCCA Youth Go Tournament is also The Second US Youth Go Championship (USYCG) Qualifier.
Go is a strategic board game for two players. It is known as Weiqi or Wei-Chi in Chinese (圍棋 or 围棋), Igo or Go in Japanese (囲碁 or 碁), and Baduk in Korean (바둑). Go originated in ancient China, centuries before its earliest known references in 5th century BC writing. Go takes simple elements -- line and circle, black and white, stone and wood -- combines them with simple rules and generates subtleties which have enthralled players for millennia. Beyond being merely a game, Go can take on other meanings to enthusiasts: an analogy with life, an intense meditation, a mirror of one's personality, an exercise in abstract reasoning, or, when played well, a beautiful art in which Black and White dance across the board in delicate balance. But most important for all who play, Go is challenging and fun.
We play and discuss Go every Friday at Room 108 when Huaxin School of Arts is in session. Both adults and kids (over six) are welcome. Thanks to Mr. John Yen (阎公骏)'s donation, admission to the club is only $2 per session or $40 per year. GBCCA Go Club is a chapter of the American Go Association .
