There are two situations in which white moves first in Go.

1. Ancient Go. The difference between ancient Go and modern Go is that there are seat rules and white first mover rules


2. In modern Go, black moves first, except for handicap. Handicap is to place a number of black stones (2 or more) on fixed points on the chessboard, and white is the first to move freely.

Since the player who makes the first move will have an advantage over the player who moves later, in order to balance this advantage, there is a rule of sticking the goal first, otherwise everyone will be like Zhu Yuanzhang, making the first move in Tianyuan (the center of the chessboard), and then every step of the way. Walking on the opponent's symmetrical point, the first mover will win. Of course, in the case of letting the child or letting the first move, it will not be posted.
