The American Go Association (abbrev. AGA) was founded in 1937 to promote the board game of go in the United States. Founded by chess master Edward Lasker and some friends at Chumley's restaurant in New York City, the AGA is one of the oldest Western Go associations. The AGA publishes a bi-weekly online newsletter, The American Go E-Journal, and an annual Yearbook; maintains a national rating system; organizes an annual national event, The US Go Congress; selects North American representatives in international tournaments; and provides support to its members and chapters as they promote Go in their communities. Events for youth have also been established including tournaments and an annual AGA youth summer camp that features instruction from top professional players. The AGA has developed a set of rules that attempts to reconcile difference between "area"-based rule sets and "territory"-based rule sets, and participates actively in an international committee trying to establish a unified worldwide set of rules.

Go in "Auroville": Founded in 1968 by "The Mother", Auroville views itself as an "international township" which aims to be the "city of the future." It is physically located along the southeast coast of India in the Tamil region, but you will not find it on any map.
Go is so profoundly simple and yet complex at the same time that the quest for a "perfect" rule set fascinates them.
