Go is not in the Olympics and neither is Chess. Go is also known as Igo in Japan, Baduk in Korea, and Weiqi in China. It is played by millions or tens of millions of amateurs in China, Korea and Japan. In Europe, there are about 10,000 to 20,000 people playing it. Ditto in North America. It is played in Latin America as well. There are amateurs at the highest levels in Argentina and Brazil. At least South Africa and Madagascar have national federations. It has very little exposure in the Middle East. For some reason, Mongolia is rather weak at go despite the fact that Ghengis Khan knew the game and I think he might have played it. Australian go is at a level similar to a typical European country.
