Go , on the other hand , is not merely a picture of a single battle like Chess , but of a whole campaign of a modern kind , in which the strategical movements of the masses in the end decide the victory . Battles occur in various parts of the board , and sometimes se v eral are going o n at the
same time . Strong positions are besieged and captured ,
and whole armies are cut o f from their line o f co m m un ica
tions and are taken prisoners unless they can fortify them
selves in impregnable positions , and a far reaching strategy alone assures the victory .
