weiqi means "surrounding game, " because one goal of the game is to surround the other player's pieces. It is played with white and black pieces called"stones" on a wooden board which has a grid of 19 lines on it, forming 361 crossing points. Each player has a bowl full of stones. One player has 181 black stones, while the other has 180 white ones. To win the game, the players try to gain more space by taking turns placing stones on the board, with black beginning first. 

Though Go looks quite simple, it is actually one of the most complicated (复杂的) games. The game provides an unending number of possibilities as players move forward step by step, winning small successes here and losing there. When a player makes a move, the other player has to guess the strategy and make a move accordingly, which requires the players to think and decide wisely. The Go players usually need to pay attention to the game for a long time until the true winner is finally decided. 

Most of the time, the game takes place in complete silence as the players peacefully think about their next move. Even though no words are spoken, the two players are always communicating. For this reason, the game is often called "shoutan" or "hand conversation. " And, just as good conversation builds friendship, many Go players build deep friendships with each other through hours of hand conversation. 

The game Go is strongly connected with Chinese culture. It is not just a game. It teaches us a lesson about life. We need to wait for the right moment to act or face the unexpected challenges calmly(冷静地). More than that, while Go is a war strategy game, it is different from most because the first and most important goal is not to win, but to play a good game, which gives us the saying: "It is a pleasure to win, and a pleasure to lose as well" (from the poem "Watching a Game of Go" by Su Shi). The game provides training for the mind, it also provides training for the soul (心灵) and it is thought that players become better people from playing the game. 

Mr. Wang is a teacher in our school. He teaches us English. He walks to work every day.
