Overview
Hikaru Shindou is an average 12-year-old 6th grader. One day, while searching through his grandfather's attic, he finds an old Go board. Upon touching the Go board, Hikaru is possessed by the spirit of Fujiwara no Sai, and continues to be haunted by him soon after. Sai was once a great Go player, who committed suicide and continued to stay in the world as a spirit desiring only to play Go once again. Finally bending to Sai's pleas, Hikaru allows Sai to play Go through himself, unknowingly attempting the first game with the young prodigy Touya Akira. Time has finally started moving, as Sai's quest for the perfect game, "The Hand of God", is set underway. Based on the manga by Yumi Hotta and Takeshi Obata.

Found incorrect info?
And even phrases like "but I don't know anything about go!" they are not an argument. Everything is explained pretty well here, and in general, you can understand how the game is going by the expressions on the faces of the characters. The cliffhangers are set up correctly and don't bother you at all - the work of the creators of the Death Note is visible.
The only thing I would like to find fault with is the third season. The second one was so well completed, it was sad and painful, but the third one came out with nothing at all. In fact, it consists of GG's tears and flashbacks.
In general, if you want to watch an exciting sports anime, but you are no longer impressed by volleyball, basketball and cycling players, be sure to watch Hikaru and Go
