Many first class Weiqi professionals have emerged and won championships in competition with their counterparts in Japan and Korea. Today, in China, Weiqi has regained its prominence following the end of the Cultural Revolution. Go spread to all levels of society and by the 18th century, had attained a status equal to that of the famed tea ceremony. Weiqi was studied by Japan's warrior class and eventually institutionalized in four 'Go houses', where families developed and passed down Go techniques in the same way that other Japanese families passed down their techniques of sword-making and other skills of craftsmanship.

It seems to have shown up in Korea before Japan, but in Japan, the game was developed to its full potential. Weiqi was introduced in Japan 1,200 to 1,400 years ago, reportedly by a Buddhist priest who had visited China. Mao Zedong initially required his generals to study it only to have it condenmed during the Cultural Revolution as a pastime of intellectuals. Ironically, Weiqi has had it difficulties in China, where Confucius looked on it as a waste of time. Today millions in Asia and thousands elsewhere play Weiqi. Having developed in china between 3,000 and 4,000 years ago, Weiqi (called Go in Japan and Baduk in Korea) contends with backgammon for the right to be called the oldest game still played in its original form. The advanced class concentrates on advanced strategies and tactics, opening skills (fuseki), basic joseki (established sequence usually situated in the corner of the weiqi board), problem solving, fighting skills at the middle stage of the game, stone calculations at the end stage, playing games, game analysis and more. The elementary class teaches the rules of the game, the skills of capturing stones, determining wins and losses, preliminary starting techniques, key points of the fight, playing games, game analysis and more.
