Game of Go

Chinese invented Go (圍棋 \weiqi) since antiquity. The Japanese called it 碁 (Go) and introduced it to the West.

Go is the game of wisdom of Universe and Life.

There are 19 x 19 grids = 361
Each dot can have 3 ways= black, white or empty
So total combinations = 3^361

Take a look at this number: 3^361
is the approximate between 3^360 and 3^365

In a Lunar calendar a year = 360 days.
In Solar calendar a year = 365 days

3 represents the Trinity: 天地人 (God, Earth, Man)
(In Christianity : God, Son and Holy Spirit)
