There are mentions of a similar game called yì ? made by Confucius and Mencius but it is not certain it is the same game. The name ? ‘Go’ comes from its name in Japan. Like many Japanese traditions it made its way from China during the Tang dynasty when Chinese influence was at its peak. Because it made its way to the West via Japan it is the Japanese form of the game that is most widely played. The game can be literally translated as ‘encirclement game’ was long considered an appropriate study for scholars as it taught many kinds of strategy.
