The games of Chess and Paduk (known as Go in Japan) are alike and yet so different. Both engage the players in a battle of wits, and only one side emerges victorious. Both have an opening, mid-game and endgame strategy. Tests of patience and focus, both games have few written rules but take years of practice to master the subtleties.

But it is the differences that make each game unique. Chess is a western game in which each piece has its own strengths and weaknesses and in which success is focused on the individual king. Go and Paduk are eastern games in which each piece has the same power as all the others, but all pieces are powerless unless they are positioned correctly with the others.
