\Csimple and easy to learn. If you like Chess or Checkers, you
\Cmight find GO to be even more to your liking. You can learn
\CGO almost at once. You will be intrigued by its profundity.
\COne can spend as much time as one wants in studying the
\Cgame and in improving ones playing ability. It is fun.

\F1\CGO possesses a simple handicap system that allows players of quite
\Cdifferent skills to play each other on an equal basis and the game
\Cwill then be very challenging and interesting to both players.

\F1\CGO originated in China many centuries B.C. and there are records of
\Ccomplete games that were played circa 400 A.D.. GO eventually got
\Cto Japan where the game is still extremely popular. It has recently

\Cplayers who learn the game usually prefer GO to their former game.
