Go...

The purpose of this game is to capture all of the enemy's pebbles. To do this youmust surround them until they can't escape. You eventually win until there is no more space on the board or there are no more white pebbles. The relacionship with Tao and this is that in order to win you have to attack with out attacking. You can't go directly and atempt to take them because you will most likely lieave oportunities for them to take your pebbles. On the contrary in order to win you must surround them and when there is no more space for them to escape you must attack. It requires patience and analisis. One must know which are the most importat places that the oponent has and take them before he does. If you don't do this it is likely he will take those key spots and win due to this. There is also a very interesting aspect of the game is that there are certian positions in which one moves leads to a next move which leads to the one bofore. This is calles KO or eternity. This moves are illegal but I find it interesting that there is such such complexity in a game that it can represent eternity.
