1. The average go board is just like the image below

2. The 9 dots are called starpoints

3. The object of the game is to have the largest portion of the board

4. There are two players: the one who controls the black stones & the ones who control the white stones

5. You can't move the stones

6. In order to capture a stone, you have to surround it with your stones

7. You should play the stone on the intersection of two lines, you can't play a stone in the spaces (that will make you look stupid even in front of amateur players)

8. You should hold a stone between your index finger and middle finger...
