What is the game they played in the movie. small black and white stones with a board about the size of a chess board but with many more smaller squares. Anybody know where I can find more info about it?
Probably “Go.”http://games.yahoo.com/games/login2?game=Go "]Game. Need a yahoo ID to get there.
Here’s a blurb on the rules:
Beginning with Black, each player in turn, places a stone on an empty intersection, or “point.” Once placed, a stone is never moved, although it is removed if the opponent captures it. If a stone or a solidly connected group of stones becomes completely surrounded by opposing pieces, it is captured and removed from play. A stone or group is completely surrounded when it is not adjacent–in any horizontal or vertical direction–to any empty intersections. An empty intersection adjacent to a stone or group is called a “liberty” of that group. In the diagram, White’s stone has only one liberty–the point marked X. If Black plays there, White’s stone is captured, resulting in the next diagram.
And so on.
