Learn How to Play Go

For beginners, our class at Barnes & Noble welcomes students of all ages looking for an introduction on how to play Go. Our introduction will let you become familiar with playing as black or white using stones on any size Go board. We will cover the objective of the game, how to capture your opponent's stones and how to protect your own stones from being captured! Lastly, we will show you how a game ends and how to count to find a winner.

For students wanting to take the next steps, we can cover many basic shapes and patterns, and lots of intermediate topics. We also offer game analysis, teaching games and how to move up to 19x19 boards, ready for the next tournament!

Players of all strengths are welcome to stay for pick up games on 9x9, 13x13 or 19x19 board sizes. Let the fun begin!
