Summary
Rules for Weiqi.
Description
These are the rules for Weiqi, commonly known as the Chinese rules for Go.
Rules
Played on a 19x19 board. The board begins empty. One player plays as black, the other as white. The black player begins by placing a piece on one of the intersections on the board. Players alternate turns placing a piece on the board. A player may pass at any time. A piece or a group of pieces are captured when they are completely surrounded on all sides on adjacent intersections by the opposing player. Stones may be placed in a position where they are surrounded. Stones cannot be placed to recreate a previous position. The game ends when both players pass consecutively. Players then fill in the spaces in their captured territory with their own pieces. Players total the number of intersections their pieces occupy. The player with the highest total wins.
