#CHESS vs. GO (# of moves) + METAPHORIC "RACISM" reducing "liberties" by surrounding black (or white).
Go is extremely complex despite the simple rules.
Compared to chess, Go has both a larger board with more scope for play, longer games and many more alternatives to consider per move.
Go has been calculated to have approximately 2.1×[10 to the power 170] legal board positions which is far greater than the number of atoms in the observable universe,
#ATOMS in #UNIVERSE is estimated to around [10 to the power of 80].
THE NAME:
The name Go is a short form of the Japanese word igo (囲碁; いご), which derives from earlier wigo (ゐご), in turn from Middle Chinese ɦʉi gi (圍棋, Mandarin: wéiqí, lit. 'encirclement board game' or 'board game of surrounding').
RACISM:
The basic picture on Wikipedia or any site might show White reducing "liberties" progressively by one by surrounding black.
In picture [D], when Black has only one liberty left, that stone is under attack and about to be captured and eliminated (a state called atari). Also interesting for #RetroComputing and #retro gamers who know about "Atari" Personal Computer.
