New to Weiqi?
Come learn with us.
A friendly, beginner-only class starting Thursday, 12 August 2026, 7.30pm–9.00pm, with Mr House, 5 Dan. No experience needed — just curiosity.
What the course covers
Weiqi is one of the oldest games in the world, but it’s also one of the most welcoming to learn — and this course is built for complete beginners, taught by warm, experienced instructors who enjoy sharing the game.
Over eight relaxed lessons, you’ll:
- Discover the history and culture of Weiqi — where it came from, and what it’s meant to generations of players.
- Learn the basic rules at your own pace: liberties, capturing, escaping, and the forbidden point.
- Get comfortable with scoring — understanding territory and how a game is counted.
- Spend real time playing, with your teacher guiding you through every move.
All course materials are included, and you’ll be learning alongside other beginners in a small, supportive class.
The rank
As a nice bonus for finishing the course, you’ll receive an SWA Kyu Booklet with a certified 20-kyu rank — Singapore’s official starting point for anyone who’d like to keep playing in SWA Kyu Competitions down the road. There’s no pressure to compete — it’s simply there for you if and when you’re ready.
