Weiqi has a long and profound history. In the four art forms of ancient China – Guqin, chess, calligraphy and Chinese painting, chess refers to Weiqi. As the world’s oldest chess game, Weiqi is speculated to start around the 23rd century BC and be created by Emperor Yao. This course will cover the fundamental techniques of capturing stones, common life-and-death shapes, basic joseki, and opening theory in Weiqi, as well as how to complete a full game against an opponent. By participating in this Weiqi course, students can gain insights into the origin and development trajectory of Weiqi culture, stories of prominent figures, and its implications on artificial intelligence (AI), one of the hottest topics today. Weiqi is more than a game and a cultural carrier. It is hoped that Weiqi will become one of students’ lifelong hobbies.
