바둑 is a traditional board game originating from China over 2,500 years ago. It is played on a grid of 19x19 lines, where two players take turns placing black and white stones. The objective is to control more territory on the board than the opponent by surrounding their stones. The game emphasizes strategy and tactics, as players must think several moves ahead. 바둑 is known for its deep complexity despite simple rules, making it popular in countries like South Korea, Japan, and China. It is often played competitively, with professional players and tournaments worldwide.
