	Games - Go proverb

Go proverbs are "words of perceived wisdom" relating to the game of Go, generally used to assist weaker players in determining a good move during a game. They are generalisations and thus a particular proverb will have specific situations where it is not applicable. Knowing when a proverb is inapplicable is part of the process of getting stronger as a Go player. Indeed, several proverbs contradict each other - however they agree in as much as they are advising the player to pay attention to the stated situation.

Go proverbs, go problems and compilations of go games are the three major traditional teaching resources for the game of go.

Several books relating to Go proverbs have been written, for example Go proverbs illustrated by Segoe Kensaku (瀬越憲作) was published in 1960. Such books do not just quote the proverb but spend their pages explaining the meaning and application of the proverbs.
