Morphology
The meaning 'a board on which the game of Go is played' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'Go' (the game) with 'board' (the playing surface). This noun-noun compound follows a common compositional pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily understand it.
Etymology
The noun go board comes from the name of the old game Go and the word board. It pictures the flat square board with a grid where players put black and white stones, so go board means 'the board used to play Go'.
