New to Go?
Go is a two-player strategy game that originated in China over 2,500 years ago and is still played by millions today. The rules take minutes to learn, but the strategy takes a lifetime to master. Beginners are always welcome at our meetups, and club members are happy to teach you the basics. If you'd like a head start, check out our Resources page for guides, places to play online, and ways to connect with the wider Go community.

Registration Update: GoClubsOnline Login Problems
GoClubsOnline is currently having software problems that prevent people from logging in. They're working on a fix, but there's no estimate yet for when it will be resolved.
In the meantime, register by email. Send [email protected] the following:
- Your name
- Your American Go Association (AGA) ID number
- Your playing strength (e.g., 4k)
-
Which section you'd like to play in:
- Open: all games are even, with no handicap stones.
- Handicap: the weaker player takes black and receives handicap stones based on the difference in strength.
All players must have a current AGA membership. See the AGA website for membership information.
If needed, we'll work out any registration issues at the door. In that case, please arrive by 9:00am on Saturday.
