Korea's only university department teaching 'Go' faces closure
YONGIN, Gyeonggi Province - Daniela Trinks probably would not have stepped foot in Korea if it wasn't for the small “Go” (a Chinese strategy board game) club in her neighborhood in Berlin and her mother who had read about the board game in a novel and got intrigued. At age 10, Trinks, who was used to playing chess at home, gave the club a try. She had no idea the board game, invented in China over 2,500 years ago, would make her forget about chess and plunge her into a new world of mind-numbingly complex strategies.
