This is a black and white Chinese Chess.
It’s a complicated game, but I don’t know it. Kids learnt from the school for 24 lessons. So, they knew more than me.
I tried to do a Google searching online, but can’t get it’s English name. They said, it called “Go” game?!
I wondered is it true?

Do you know the name of this game?

Yes

No

I have heard it as “go” too, but I don’t know much. I have read the book “The Girl Who Played Go” though.
this is my favorite game, I play it every day. it was invented in China, so we should call it Weiqi but in Japan it is called Go and that’s what they call it in the US as well…
amusingly enough, today all the highest ranked players are Korean. they call it Baduk

Sorry, I have no idea, it is the first time I see this game
I think in Chinese, it’s called “Wei Qi” (围棋), black and white chess(黑白棋) is another type of chess which I think is called Reversi. I checked online, it’s called Go, which is said it’s derived from the Japanese pronunciation of chess. It was invented in China, and became more popular when it’s in Japan.

My husband bought one long time ago, and lately he taught my big kids how to play. They are much better than I. It’s good that the kids nowadays learn this in school.
Go, this name looks funny and cute right?
huzzah for kaka135! you’re correct!
It sure does look complicated.
Yes, it is so I know nothing about this,.
I love board games but have never come across this Go game.
Really? Think it’s because it’s complicated.
It is just lack of familiarity. Chess is more popular here.
The Americanized version of this game is Othello.
Thanks for informing, you know how to play Othello?
You start with two black pieces and two white pieces. Then, each person alternates putting pieces on the board. If you sandwich the opponent’s piece, then the piece changes color. It’s also called Reversi – here’s a video tutorial. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlll7wfEKaI
Oh,thanks for the information. I got it, Thanks,Anyway, Reversi is much simple compare to Go.
This is Go, a very hard game to learn. Go masters spend years perfecting their game skills!
So true, it’s super hard one, very complicated.
I have seen it played in movies and by the look of it, it’s more complicated than a normal chess.
Yes, always appeared in the movie, played by those masters.
This is the Go Game. A very difficult game to play and AI won against the Chinese master of GO.
Yes, I heard so, AI won against the human.
Google calls is Japanese Shogi. But I am seeing it for the first time. I play the normal chess.
Google calls it “Go” at my end, thus I am puzzled.
It is called by both those names. I re checked.
Thanks Grace for double checking.
this is not Shogi- that is an entirely different game
You could be right but just see what Google is up to confusing the likes of ignoramuses like me (lol)

which is why you should verify any info you get from the internet. they’re two entirely different games…
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shogi
Google so blatantly provides countless sites all talking about Shogi (lol) Never mind. You are an authority as you have been playing the game and so straight from the horse’s mouth!!!
Have a nice day.
It’s surprised me that with the image in the link showed. It is another type chess that similar to Chinese Chess.
I have played Chinese checkers before but my favorite game is backgammon
Backgammon sounds interesting too, I checked it online.
Never played this game before.
This is a bit complicated.
