Go, known in China as weiqi, is a board game for two players. It was invented in China more than4, 000 years ago and it now is becoming more popular in other areas and enjoys a wide fan base in the world.
Timo Schreiber, vice-chair (副主席) of Berlin Go Association, encouraged children to learn Go. "They learn that there is always someone stronger, which is okay, and they learn that it's okay to lose. They learn how to improve themselves from their mistakes and say tomorrow will be better than today. Actually, I often look at my mistakes and learn from them," he explained.
As cooperation(合作) between China and Germany becomes deeper in many parts of life, including art and culture, efforts have also been made to further popularize (使普及)Go in Europe.
The European Go Congress has been hosting competitions once a year since 1983. The Berlin Go Association has worked together with the China Cultural Centre in Berlin to host The China Cup, an international Go competition in which around 50 to100 players take part a year. Training courses are also offered, and sometimes professional players from China are also invited to give talks to the game lovers in Europe.
According to Andreas Urban, chair of Berlin Go Association, there are about 2, 500 regular players in Germany. To give players on both sides a chance to try their hands at one another, Urban believes China and Germany could both do their parts.
