Aims

The aims of the society are:[2]

  • to organise the annual New Zealand Go Congress tournament,
  • to maintain a points system for members,
  • to sends a New Zealand representative to the World Amateur Go Championship (WAGC) annually,
  • to run a bookshop (selling books and Go equipment) with special deals for members.

New Zealand rules

NZGS adopts the New Zealand Rules of Go,[3] which is one of major rulesets of Go in the world,[4] and the basis of the Tromp-Taylor Rules,[4][5][6] proposed by John Tromp and Bill Taylor.
