My First Book of Go Exercises

About the Book

This book has a series of exercises to teach kids fundamental concepts of the Go game. Go is a strategy board game, and it is considered very beneficial to mind and emotional development (e.g., https://gomagic.org/go-game/). The book allow kids to learn in a fun way by drawing on paper, while practising Math at the same time, and spending some time away of a screen.

It starts with basic captures across the board, but it also gives a first intuition towards important concepts such as ladders, nets, eyes, kos, and counting. The exercises should be straight-forward if you have Go knowledge, but a solution sheet is provided as a separate document.
