About Go
Go is a quintessential game: its rules unfold flawlessly from the concept ... well, almost.
It is also one of the oldest and one of the most sophisticated games known to man - a rare combination. It has an immense literature, now readily accessible through the internet. It has an extremely small marging of draws and as yet effectively eludes attempts to formulate evaluation functions that would allow programs to perform more impressively.

Where there are thousands of chess variants, the number of Go variants is very small. Chess of course allows this multitude because there's virtually no limit to creating different pieces with different powers on different boards with different rules. Go in its simplicity hardly allows such changes.
