In the Far East, where it originated, Go enjoys great popularity today, and interest in the game is growing steadily in Europe and America. Like Chess, Go is a game of skill - it has been described as being like four Chess games going on together on the same board - but it differs from Chess in many ways. The rules of Go are very simple and though, like Chess, it is a challenge to players' analytical skills, there is far more scope in Go for intuition.
The Isle of Man Go Club has ten members and meets weekly, on Sunday evening. The venue rotates between its various members' homes.
The Club also organises the Isle of Man Go Congress, which takes place evey two years. The Congress is very popular, attracting arround 50 entrants, from the Isle of Man, UK, and the rest of the world.
We are always looking for new members, so if you would like learn to play, please email the club secretary, using the link on the left of this page.
