Sunjang baduk is a different form of Go (baduk) that evolved in Korea. It has been played since at least the 7th century. Its most distinctive feature is the prescribed opening. The starting position dictates the placement of 16 stones (8 black, 8 white) as shown, and the first move is prescribed for Black at the center of the board. However, the counting system for determining territory at the end of the game also has some important differences. Namely, stones inside friendly territory, which are irrelevant to boundary definition, are removed before counting territory.
