Go is more than a board game

Nowadays, Go is the most popular board game. Go originates in China around 4,000 years ago and it is one of four Chinese arts. In addition, Go isn�t just a Chinese art. It covers three knowledges too.
First, Go is strategy, it is fighting of black stones and white stones to occupy the most area. It�s very popular in Chinese soldiers in the past because Go helps them to practice planning.
Second, Go is mathematics, it use the principle of mathematics to calculates area and points to decide who win or lose. If you play Go with computer. Computer has to spend a lot of time to place a stone because Go is complex that make computer calculates hard.
Finally, Go is philosophy, placing a stone on the board in each turn is like silence but it has the changing in every turns. The player who is wiser has much more opportunities to be the winner because they see the changing deeply more than the loser.
In conclusion, Go isn�t just a board game but it covers many knowledges such as strategy, mathematics and philosophy. So who are expert in playing Go they will be good at these knowledges too. Playing go helps developing your thinking that make you are wiser.
What do you think about Go?
