For better understanding of the game, read Wikipedias overview of "Go Game”, quote:
“… Go is an adversarial game with the objective of surrounding more territory than ones opponent. As the game progresses, the board gets divided up into areas of territory, as outlined by groups of stones. These areas are then contested in local battles, which are often complicated, and may result in the expansion, reduction, or wholesale capture and loss of the contested area. It is often the case that a certain kind of "trade" goes on, where a players loss in one part of the board can be compensated for or mitigated by a gain in another part of the board.
… The general strategy of Go is to expand ones territory where possible, attack the opponents weak groups (groups that can possibly be killed), and always stay mindful of the "life status" of ones own groups. The liberties of groups are countable. Situations where two opposing groups must capture the other to live are called capturing races (semeai). In a capturing race, the group with more liberties (and/or better "shape") will ultimately be able to capture the opponents stones. Capturing races and questions of life and death are examples of what makes Go challenging.
… The game ends when both players pass, and players pass when there are no more profitable moves to be made. The game is then scored: The player with the greater number of controlled (surrounded) points, factoring in the number of captured stones and komi, wins the game. Games may also be won by resignation, for example if a player has lost a large group of stones…”
