Is it good for girls to learn Go?

"Be proficient in everything, including music, chess, calligraphy and painting" is a proverb, but it is also the expectation of many parents for their children. We also know that the activity of Go is more inclined to train people's thinking, and in recent years Go has gradually been favored by parents. At the same time, many parents believe that boys are more suitable for learning Go, and there is no need for girls to learn Go. So what are the benefits of girls learning Go? Let us find out together.

1. Develop intelligence. Go is an intellectual sport, and each move requires a lot of calculation and judgment before it can be made. Once you make a thoughtless move, the balance of victory and defeat will be tilted. This is what is called "one wrong move, and the whole game is lost." Therefore, playing Go can effectively help children develop good habits of using their brains and thinking hard.

2. Cultivate sentiment. Go is an elegant sport. The profound philosophical theories and unique cultural connotations of Go will unconsciously influence children's outlook on life and world view.

3. It helps children concentrate. The Go board is always full of intense battles and you can never relax at any time. Every move of the opponent must be carefully evaluated and judged before a correct response can be made. Therefore, playing Go is extremely helpful for children to concentrate.

4. Cultivate children's ability to think independently and solve problems independently. Facing a strong opponent, every move may be difficult. Children must learn to ask questions independently without any support and then solve disputes on the chessboard independently. Therefore, playing Go can effectively cultivate children's ability to think independently and solve problems independently.

5. Frustration education for children. In the world of Go where victory and defeat are at stake, let children experience joy in victory and pain in defeat. Every failure is a setback. Only those who can withstand setbacks can become masters.

6. Cultivate children's communication skills. Go is also known as "hand talk", which means that the two players can communicate with each other mentally by using the chess pieces held in their hands on the chessboard instead of language. Playing chess with an opponent is actually using Go to achieve communication between people.

When girls learn Go, it can not only improve their intelligence, but also help them concentrate and develop the ability to take the overall situation into consideration, making their logical thinking more meticulous. To sum up, the benefits of girls learning Go are very great, so parents may wish to let their children get more exposure to Go and improve themselves.
