Weiqi is a strategic two-player chess game, which was called "Yi" in ancient China and "Weiqi" in the west. Popular in East Asian countries (China, Japan, Korea and North Korea), it belongs to one of the four major arts of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Weiqi originated in China and was handed down by Emperor Yao. It was recorded in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was introduced to Japan through Korea and then to European and American countries. Weiqi contains rich cultural connotations in China, which is the embodiment of China culture and civilization.
Weiqi uses a square chessboard and black and white round pieces to play chess. There are 19 vertical and horizontal lines on the chessboard, which divide the chessboard into 36 1 intersections. The chess pieces walk at the intersection, and the two sides play chess alternately. After falling, they can't move, and most of them win. Because the black side went first and took advantage, it was artificially stipulated that the black side should post to the white side at the end of the game.
In ancient China, Weiqi was a block system in which black and white players placed two pieces in the diagonal star position (diagonal star layout), and the white player took the lead. Modern Go cancels the seating rule, and black moves first, which makes the change of Go more complicated and changeable. Weiqi is also considered as the most complicated board game in the world.
