A quiet corner for Go
Pixel Go Chess is a quiet corner to learn and play the ancient board game of Go, also known as Baduk, Weiqi and Igo.
Pour a cup of tea and sit with an old cat sensei who walks you through the rules one small step at a time: liberties and captures, ko, eyes, life and death, and how to count the score.
