There is an abundance of
joseki (standard sequences) in Go. The selection of
joseki, however, can determine the outcome of the game. What sets the
professional
players apart are the subtle differences in how they apply joseki. How accurately
and efficiently one handles joseki will decide if the outcome is favorable.
By only sticking to popular joseki, it's difficult for one to
get strong.
However, it takes courage for one to forsake the popular joseki in pursuit of novel
plays and shapes.
Regardless of the efforts one spends in analyzing a particular play or shape,
the outcome of applying a novel play is often unsatisfactory due to unforeseen
factors in actual games. Even if one succeeds, it still takes concerted study and
analyses to perfect the play. The novel plays introduced in this book were
established by a number of professional players (Lee Changho,
Cho Hunhyun,
Kobayashi Koichi, Yun Song-hyon, Chong Hyon, Yu Chang-hyok, etc.) after painstaking
research efforts and analyses.
The book is packed with
illustrations and explanations from the amateur players'; point of view, with progressing levels of difficulties.
Studying the novel plays and shapes in this book will help you improve your reading,
strategical and tactical skills. Total 230 pages.
