It makes chess look like a child's game. :D Deceptively simple, it is said that no two games of Go can ever be the same. The oldest board game continuously played (effectively unchanged for 2,500 years) to this day, we still have records of games between masters played over 1,000 years ago.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_(game)

"The earliest written reference to the game is generally recognized as the historical annal Zuo Zhuan (c. 4th century BCE)."

"The number of legal board positions in Go has been calculated to be approximately 2.1×10^170, which is far greater than the number of atoms in the observable universe."

(There's a documentary about the tournament: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt6700846/)
