  Yes, but it's not alarming.

  It's simpler than it might look. Stones are simply placed on the board,
never moved. They can be also captured (in which case they are removed
from the board and taken as captured, which in the image can be seen
on the lids).

  Go is a very interesting game in that the basic rules are extremely
simple and can be learnt in a couple of minutes, but the game itself
has so intrinsic and vaste amount of tactics that it takes a lifetime
to become one of the strongest player in the world.
