The game of Go is still gaining its popularity in the West. The typical responses when I mention it are:

From those who never heard of the game:
- Like Go Fish?
- Like Golf?
- Like Go Corporation?
- Like Go.com?
- Like Go-go dancing?

No.

From those who saw A Beautiful Mind or Pi:
- That game they were playing at Princeton?
- That game they used in the movie Pi?
- That game with black and white chips?

Yes.

People into games often confuse Go, when explained, with:
- Othello
- Pente
- Dots and Boxes

The hope is that more people will understand just what Go is. If you want to help spread Go, you can:

- Join the American Go Association
- Give to the American Go Foundation
- Ask your neighborhood retailer to carry the game
- Support any of your worthy Go vendors (Kiseido, Samarkand, Slate and Shell, Yutopian)
