A chessboard was also found in the "Haihunhou" tomb, according to Jiangnan City Daily. The chessboard is not complete, but was apparently used for playing games. According to experts, it resembles the modern game "go", but has yet to be fully identified. If the chessboard was for "go", it would be the earliest "go" chessboard unearthed in China.
