is an abstract strategy board game for two players. It was invented more than 2,500 years ago in Asia. Despite its relatively simple rules, Go is very complex. 

Compared to other board games, Go comes with a larger board with more scope for play and longer games, and, on average, many more alternatives to consider per move. The goal of the game, as its Chinese name suggests, is to surround as much on the board as possible – most importantly, more than the opponent.

The number of Go players worldwide was estimated to be more than 40 million, the majority of them living in East Asia, where several big cities have hosted Go schools. In this context, the term Go school refers to a place, where children between 8 and 20 years live together with their teacher, with the aim to reach professional strength. Currently, this kind of Go school does not exist anywhere in Europe…until now.
