The ISU GO CLUB meets every Wednesday night at 7:30 in the Commons of the Memorial Union. Players of all strengths are welcome. If you have never played before we will teach you! It takes about 5 minutes to learn the rules governing play, and there is a handicap system that lets you compete evenly against very good players after just a few games. Go is a two player strategy board game older than chess. Players take turns putting black and white pieces (called stones) on a board. Stones are placed on the intersection of the lines on the board. Once played a stone cannot be moved, but may be captured by the other player. The object of the game is to surround territory and/or your opponent's stones. A player can pass at any time. The game ends when both players pass. Go is generally played on a 19 by 19 line board, but smaller boards such as 9 by 9 or 13 by 13 are often used to play a quick game. The club brings extra boards and stones, so just drop in and play! -- Frank Poduska frank@iastate.edu
