**From [LRS](lrs.md) point of view go is one of the best games ever**, for similar reasons to chess (it's highly free, [suckless](suckless.md), cheap, [not owned by anyone](public_domain.md), [fun](fun.md), mathematically deep, nice for programming while the game itself doesn't even require a [computer](computer.md) etc.) plus yet greater [simplicity](minimalism.md) and beauty.
**Solving go:** similarly to chess the full game of go seems unlikely to be solved -- the 19x19 game state tree is yet larger than that of chess, but the much simpler rules possibly give a bigger hope for mathematical proofs. Smaller boards however have been solved: Erik van der Werf made a program that confirmed win for black on boards up to (and including) 5x5 (best first move in all cases being in the middle of the board). Bigger boards are being researched, but a lot of information about them is in undecipherable Japanese/Korean gibberish, so we leave that for the future.
