So the game spread to the USA, Israel, Poland and other European countries. The majority of fans of "points" are former citizens of the USSR, including those who emigrated to other countries. Currently, the discrepancy is so great that it would be wrong to talk about the identity of these games. Over time, the points have evolved, acquired their own rules and strategies, significantly different from go. The dot game has become a paper adaptation of go and has spread so rapidly that it is no longer possible to locate its origin.
