Un milenario y fascinante juego chino
Chin, chi, shu, jua, es decir, tocar algún instrumento musical, jugar
al CERCADO, escribir con buena caligrafía y saber pintar un cuadro,
eran las cuatro artes básicas que debía dominar cualquier intelectual
en la antigua China. Hoy en día sigue vigente este canon tradicional.
Las artes musicales, caligráficas y pictóricas chinas son más o
menos conocidas ya en Occidente. Pero el CERCADO, ese
apasionante y milenario juego artístico de tipo intelectual, aún sigue
en buena parte oculto. Ambrosio Wang An-Po, profundo conocedor
de las dos culturas, oriental y occidental, y apasionado hispanista,
fue el introductor del CERCADO en España en la década de 1950 y
es el autor del presente libro, el primer tratado de GO (nombre
japonés del juego) en lengua castellana, publicado originalmente en
1970.
Relentless: Lee Sedol vs Gu Li
por Younggil An & David Ormerod
Weiqi
PDF
Go Game Guru
2016
This book contains analysis of 48 games between two of the top

Go players of the early 21st century, but it is not just another book of
game commentaries. It is the story of the rivalry and friendship
between Lee Sedol and Gu Li, their relentless struggle to become
the best, and an explication of the secrets of Go hidden within their
games.
There are two parts to Relentless . Part One is the core of the
book and examines, in unprecedented detail, the 10 game match
(jubango) played by Lee Sedol and Gu Li throughout 2014. Part Two
reviews every other official game between the two masters (up until
the end of 2015), providing the reader with ample material to review
and enjoy, while reflecting on what they learned in Part One.
Rather than just saying what happened, we use the match as the
basis for an extensive study of the fundamental techniques,
strategies and principles of Go—all applied within the context of real
games, so that the reader can see how ideas and techniques are
employed in practice.
Go is an art form, and like other arts, studying the work of masters
contributes greatly to one's appreciation, enjoyment and gradual
mastery of the craft. When you study a piece of music, the goal is
rarely (if ever) just to be able to play it. Rather, a deep study of a
piece is intended to convey a visceral understanding of the
technique and theory embodied within it, in a way that a book about
theory never could.
Relentless strives to offer that same experience to Go players.

Over two years, we have distilled our knowledge and passion for the
game into 625 pages of pure Go, until nothing more would fit.
Where other books might gloss over the details, we have sought to
expose the wealth of tactical considerations beneath the surface, so
that they may be studied, applied to the reader's games, and
eventually mastered. We have extracted a practical lesson from
every passage of play and boiled it all down to a series of
memorable proverbs (both old and new) for the reader to internalize.
Relentless also draws on the knowledge of great thinkers of the

past—such as Sun Zi (Sun Tzu), Lao Zi, Thucydides, Carl von
Clausewitz, and many more—demonstrating how their ideas apply to
Go.
Finally, the commentary is honest. In the past, some books

portrayed professional Go players like gods and politely overlooked
small mistakes. We make no apologies for doing away with this
convention.
This is not intended to be the kind of book you will only read once.
The content is dense in parts and may require reflection. It is our
hope that it will serve readers for many years to come, however
worse for wear, as a source of knowledge and inspiration, throughout
their journey along the path of Go.

Even if it is a same haengma, it can be a good move or a bad

move depending on the situation.It is always distinguished by what
haengma you play considering the situation and surrounding.
Professional players usually don't play next move until they are not
sure abou the worth of the stone and its maximum utilization. It is the
reason for them to pay full attention even though there is a
predictable joseki during a game. It is a difference between amateur
players who play directly. 288 pages

This is a pamphlet designed to teach beginners the rules of go. It's a

very gentle introduction to the game; it has lots of examples of every
concept that is introduced, so that beginners get practice telling
when groups are connected, how many liberties a group of stones
has, etc. It doesn't make a big distinction between rules and basic
concepts; for example, you learn about two eyes before learning how
to score the game.

PDF
Ishi Press
1994
In this unique book, the authors, both only amateur Go players

themselves, develop the mathematical techniques for solving late-
stage endgame problems that can stump top-ranking professionals.
As a typical game of Go approaches its conclusion, the active
regions of play become independent of one another, and the overall
board position may be regarded as a sum of disconnected partial
board positions. Combinatorial game theory, a branch of
mathematics Berlekamp helped develop, has long been concerned
with such sums of games. Here, it is applied to solving Go-related
problems with a bewildering choice of similar-looking moves and
subtle priority relationships. The theory presented in this book
assigns each active area on the board an abstract value and then
shows how to compare them to select the optimum move or add
them up to determine the ideal outcome. Some of the values are
familiar numbers or fractions, but most are more bizarre objects quite
unlike anything in the existing Co literature. From these abstractions,
the reader learns that positions seeming ro have the same numerical
value can be crucially different while positions that appear
completely different can be mathematically identical. A go player with
an interest in mathematics or a mathematician interested in Go will
not want to miss this book because it describes substantial
connections between the two subjects which have been, until now,
overlooked.

cross-cultural strategic analysis may be found in the ancient Chinese game of strategy
wei-ch’i. Although commonly known in the West under its Japanese name go, and
extensively studied in Japan, wei-ch’i has been a favorite game of strategy of Chinese
generals, statesmen, and literati from the former Han dynasty (206 B.C.-8 A.D.) to the
times of Mao Tse-tung ."

Aji, kikashi (jugadas coactivas) y sabaki son los conceptos más

importantes del go. Imbuyen el juego con sutilezas estratégicas
inigualables en cualquier otro juego. Ningún jugador de go puede
esperar alcanzar un alto nivel de destreza sin entender estos
conceptos. Además, se necesita: entender la forma y la distribución
de piedras y cómo influyen otras zonas del tablero, determinar
cuáles son las piedras que son importantes y cuáles son las que
pueden ser sacrificadas, y también cuáles son las piedras que
deben ser fortalecidas antes de hacer jugadas estratégicas a gran
escala. El propósito de este libro es juntar estas ideas y mostrar al
lector la manera en que interaccionan estas ideas.
The Magic of Go

The Yomiuri Shimbun
1999
Los orígenes del go están ocultos en el pasado sin crónicas de la

antigua China. Existe una maraña de anécdotas populares y
académicas en conflicto que atribuyen su invención a dos
emperadores chinos, un vasallo imperial y astrólogos de la corte.
Una historia dice que go fue inventado por el legendario Emperador
Yao (gobernó 2357-2256 a.C.) como una diversión para su hijo
idiota. Un segundo afirma que el Emperador Shun (gobernado 2255-
2205 a. C.) creó el juego con la esperanza de mejorar la destreza
mental de su hijo de mente débil. Un tercero dice que la persona
llamada Wu, vasallo del emperador Jie (gobernó entre 1818 y 1766
a. C.), inventó el go y los juegos de cartas. Finalmente, una cuarta
teoría sugiere que el go fue desarrollado por astrólogos de la corte
durante la dinastía Zhou (1045-255 a. C.).

PDF
2018
During the opening stages of the game the players stake out positions and more or less
divide the board. Normally each player wants to win and take just over 50% of the board.
This usually involves a balance between safety and risk; that is, making a safe and non-
invadable extension or an extension that is slightly farther and limits the opponent's
territory. The drawback of the latter is that the position now becomes invadable. This
usually means that when an invasion takes place, the invading stones do not have enough
space to make an extension that guarantees life. That, in turn, means the invader has to
run away. However, running away is not always the best strategy as it is one-sided -- that
is, it allows your opponent to harass the run-away stones while securing territory and
building influence. Often it is far better to make the beginnings of eye-shape -- to
breathe life into the invading stones -- before running away. In other words, 'to make
sabaki.'Along with fighting a ko, sabaki is one of the most difficult concepts to put in
practice, as it involves a variety of high-level techniques, such as sacrificing stones,
making good shape, calculating complex variations, using forcing moves (kikashi), and
good style (for example, avoiding the elimination of aji).The numerous examples and 122
problems taken from professional games, will introduce the readers to all the techniques
that may be required to achieve sabaki in almost any position that might arise in their
games.
***
Durante las etapas iniciales del juego, los jugadores replantean posiciones y dividen
más o menos el tablero. Normalmente cada jugador quiere ganar y tomar un poco más del
50% del tablero. Esto generalmente implica un equilibrio entre seguridad y riesgo; es
decir, hacer una extensión segura y no invadible o una extensión que esté un poco más
lejos y limite el territorio del oponente. El inconveniente de este último es que la
posición ahora se vuelve invariable. Esto generalmente significa que cuando ocurre una
invasión, las piedras invasoras no tienen suficiente espacio para hacer una extensión que
garantice la vida. Eso, a su vez, significa que el invasor tiene que huir. Sin embargo, huir
no siempre es la mejor estrategia, ya que es unilateral, es decir, le permite a tu oponente
hostigar las piedras que se escapan mientras asegura el territorio y aumenta la influencia.
A menudo es mucho mejor comenzar con la forma de los ojos, para dar vida a las piedras
invasoras, antes de escapar. En otras palabras, 'hacer sabaki'.
Además de luchar contra un ko, sabaki es uno de los conceptos más difíciles de poner
en práctica, ya que implica una variedad de técnicas de alto nivel, como sacrificar
piedras, hacer una buena forma, calcular variaciones complejas, usar movimientos
forzados (kikashi), y buen estilo por ejemplo, evitando la eliminación de aji (aji keshi).
Los numerosos ejemplos y 122 problemas tomados de los juegos profesionales,

presentarán a los lectores todas las técnicas que pueden ser necesarias para lograr el
sabaki en casi cualquier posición que pueda surgir en sus juegos.

Master the game of Go with this expert guide.
Go is a two player board game that first originated in ancient

China but is also very popular in Japan and Korea. There is
significant strategy and philosophy involved in the game, and the
number of possible games is vast—even when compared to chess.
This is the first comprehensive strategy guidebook in English to

cover the entire game of Go by illustrating the nuances and finer
points of Go strategy. Its 203 problems and their commented
answers demonstrate to players of all level of skill not only
successful moves, but also the incorrect moves and why they are
wrong. This enables players to identify strengths and weaknesses in
their games. From opening play to the endgame, Winning Go is an
essential tool in helping serious players master the sophisticated
sequence and flow of advanced Go play.
Useful Go strategies include:
The opening ( fuseki )

The middle ( chuban )
The endgame ( yose )
Clever moves ( tesuji )
Life and death ( shikatsu )
Winning corner skirmishes ( joseki )
Accurate counting
Players will learn about not only creating good shapes, but also
how to avoid or take advantage of bad ones, along with the right and
wrong order of moves. This makes Winning Go the ideal choice for a
first problem book because it enables both players and teachers to
improve upon their Go game. From opening play to endgame,
Winning go is an essential tool in helping serious Go players master
the sophisticated sequence and flow of advanced Go play.

Oriental strategy in a Nutshell
This is a go book unlike any other. It's an outgrowth of Bruce

Wilcox's Instant Go lectures, and the most distinctive feature is that
they often give heuristics for playing instead of general principles.
For example, if you and your opponent are building walls next to one
another and you want to know whether it's safe to jump ahead or if
you should keep on pushing slowly, they tell you to "skip with six
liberties". They freely admit that his heuristics don't always work; the
goal of the heuristics is to work about 90% of the time and to tell you
what kinds of moves to look at first, though you'll probably want to do
more reading to make sure that it works out.

Estrategia oriental en pocas palabras
Este es un libro de go como ningún otro. Es una consecuencia de

las conferencias Instant Go de Bruce Wilcox, y la característica más
distintiva es que a menudo proporcionan heurísticas para jugar en
lugar de principios generales. Por ejemplo, si tú y tu oponente están
construyendo muros uno al lado del otro y quieres saber si es
seguro saltar hacia adelante o si debes seguir empujando
lentamente, te dicen que "saltes con seis libertades". Admiten
libremente que sus heurísticas no siempre funcionan; El objetivo de
la heurística es trabajar aproximadamente el 90% del tiempo y
decirle qué tipo de movimientos debe mirar primero, aunque
probablemente querrá leer más para asegurarse de que funcione.

This classic Chinese text dates from the fourteenth century,

originally published in 1347 by Yan Defu and Yan Tianzhang. The
problems take fanciful and historical aspects, with themes relating to
stories and events. For example, in the 'Mother of Seven Sons'
problem, the seven sons refers to seven white stones at the core of
the problem. Known in Japanese as 'Gen Gen Go Kyo.'

Some general advice: when you're reading go books, don't worry

about understanding everything the first time, and don't worry about
giving up on a book halfway through. I find, for example, that
whenever I start to read a book on tesuji or life and death that I have
to give up after a few weeks because my brain is too sick of reading
through those problems. Conversely, you should go back to books
that you've read earlier; you'll learn things that you didn't learn the
first time through.
How Handle Hamete
por Lee Changho
Weiqi
PDF
Como manejar el Hamete
Hamete es un término japonés, también usado en inglés, que se

refiere a una trampa en un Joseki, típicamente una jugada engañosa
pero incorrecta que requiere habilidad para ser refutada. El término
se usa a menudo de manera imprecisa entre los aficionados para
cualquier jugada con artimañas. Normalmente, un jugada de hamete
tiene una respuesta "obvia" que produce un resultado pobre. Para
calificar como hamete, la trampa debe ser desafiante: debe ser algo
que pueda engañar incluso a un aficionado de nivel dan. Una mera
trampa táctica, como inducir oiotoshi 1 , o una mala jugada que un
oponente débil podría responder incorrectamente, no es hamete.
***
oi-otosh i 1 : perseguir y capturar, o, quizás mejor perseguir, un

término japonés de go que describe una situación en la que una
piedra o grupo de piedras se coloca en atari de tal manera que no
hay escapatoria. Esto suele ocurrir cuando la única forma de salvar
un grupo en esta situación en forma temporal es conectarse y el
grupo resultante todavía está en atari. Oiotoshi también se conoce
bajo los términos conectar y morir y atari en serie.

Positional Judgment: High-Speed Game
Analysis
por Cho Chikun
PDF
The Ishi Press
1989
*****
Game analysis is the process of estimating fairly accurately the relative territorial
prospects of each player at key stages throughout the game. This may seem difficult or
even irksome to many players. In fact, without the ability to sit calmly and judge the
overall situation, vital moves may frequently be ov overlooked. Moreover, the estimation
has to be accurate enough for you to make important strategic decisions: should you
defend or should you invade, should you attack aggressively or should you try to wind up
the game quickly? If you can't assess accurately the balance of territories and calculate
whether you are ahead or behind, you lack the information that is the key prerequisite
for making such decisions.
El Juego del Go

http://www.lsi.upc.es/~jandujar/go
La historia del Go se remonta unos 3.000 años y sus reglas han

permanecido prácticamente inmutables a lo largo de todo este
tiempo. El juego es probablemente originario de China o del
Himalaya. Hay una leyenda según la cual el destino del Tibet se
decidió una vez sobre un tablero de Go, cuando el gobernador
budista, para evitar la batalla y el derramamiento de sangre retó a
sus agresores a una partida de Go. En el lejano Oriente, de donde
es originario, el Go goza hoy día de una gran popularidad y en
Europa y América el interes por el juego aumenta continuamente.
Como el Ajedrez, el Go es un juego de estrategia (ha sido descrito
como cuatro partidas simultaneas
de ajedrez sobre el mismo tablero), si bien difiere de este en
muchos aspectos. Las reglas del Go son muy sencillas y, a pesar de
que como en el Ajedrez, los jugadores enfrentan sus respectivas
capacidades analíticas, en el Go la intuición juega un papel mucho
más importante.

Un programa de inteligencia artificial que ha aprendido en sólo

tres días lo que a la humanidad le ha costado miles de años, y que
además lo ha hecho de manera totalmente autodidacta, sin ninguna
ayuda externa, se ha convertido en el mejor jugador de go del
mundo. En un torneo a cien partidas contra el programa AlphaGo,
que el año pasado derrotó al campeón mundial Lee Sedol, ha
vencido por cien a cero. El juego del go, que se inventó en China
hace más de 2.500 años, es reconocido como uno de los más
difíciles de dominar para la inteligencia artificial. A diferencia del
ajedrez, en que el programa Deep Blue de IBM venció en 1997 al
entonces campeón mundial Gary Kasparov gracias a su potencia de
cálculo, el go requiere una visión estratégica y una intuición que van
más allá de la potencia de cálculo y que nunca se ha sabido cómo
programar. Por eso, cuando el programa AlphaGo de la compañía
DeepMind superó el año pasado al campeón surcoreano Lee Sedol,
la noticia sorprendió incluso a los especialistas en inteligencia
artificial. El nuevo programa, llamado AlphaGo Zero y también
creado por DeepMind, es cualitativamente distinto y ha mostrado
prestaciones muy superiores, según los resultados que se presentan
hoy en la revista científica Nature.
El programa aprende por sí mismo desde cero y no a partir de

partidas jugadas por personas
Si el primer AlphaGo necesitó 30 millones de partidas de

entrenamiento para poderse enfrentar a Lee Sedol, al nuevo le han
bastado con 4,9 millones, seis veces menos. El primero se tuvo que
preparar durante varios meses y al nuevo le han bastado 70 horas.
El primero necesitó 48 procesadores de tipo TPU –especializados
para la inteligencia artificial– distribuidos en varias máquinas y al
nuevo le han bastado 4 TPUs en una sola máquina. AlphaGo Zero
es, en suma, un programa mucho más eficiente que el primer
AlphaGo.
Pero la gran diferencia entre ambos es que AlphaGo Zero lo ha

aprendido todo por sí solo. El primer AlphaGo aprendió a jugar
basándose en partidas de jugadores expertos. Los programadores
de Deep Mind le enseñaron millones de partidas y, a partir de ahí,
dedujo qué tipos de jugadas son más ventajosas y empezó a jugar
de manera autónoma. Dos versiones posteriores del programa,
llamadas AlphaGo Lee y AlphaGo Master, han mejorado sus
resultados aprendiendo con la misma estrategia.
Pero el nuevo AlphaGo Zero aprende de manera distinta. No se le

ha enseñado ninguna partida humana, sino únicamente las reglas
del juego. A partir de ahí ha empezado a jugar contra sí mismo,
haciendo las primeras jugadas al azar y aprendiendo por ensayo y
error.
Este modo de aprender ha permitido al programa progresar por sí

mismo empezando de cero, sin necesitar ningún tipo de supervisión
humana. Se le conoce como aprendizaje por refuerzo porque las
decisiones que llevan a resultados positivos, como ganar una
partida, resultan reforzadas. “AlphaGo se convierte en su propio
maestro”, escriben los investigadores de DeepMind en Nature.
Al cabo de tres horas de empezar a jugar, AlphaGo había
adquirido nociones básicas del go y jugaba con un nivel de
principiante. Capturaba en cada jugada tantas piezas como podía,
buscando beneficios inmediatos como un político cortoplacista, y se
despreocupaba del desarrollo de la partida a largo plazo.
Ha descubierto en tres días estrategias que a los jugadores

les han costado miles de años
Al cabo de 19 horas, ya se había dado cuenta de que la codicia es

mal negocio y había empezado a jugar con visión de futuro,
intentando dominar el territorio del tablero a largo plazo.
A las 70 horas, ya había alcanzado un nivel sobrehumano, con un

juego disciplinado que no caía en la tentación de capturas fáciles y
que tejía una red de control a lo largo y ancho del tablero.
“Los resultados sugieren que las inteligencias artificiales basadas

en aprendizaje por refuerzo pueden dar resultados mucho mejores
que las que dependen de lo experto que sea el humano”, escribe
Satinder Singh, de la Universidad de Michigan en Ann Arbor
(EE.UU.), en un artículo de opinión publicado en Nature junto a los
resultados de la investigación. “En mi opinión, este es uno de los
mayores avances en el campo del aprendizaje por refuerzo hasta la
fecha”.
Una de las claves del avance ha sido que AlphaGo Zero utiliza
una única red neural para valorar de manera simultánea qué
movimiento hacer y qué probabilidad tiene de conducir a la victoria.
Las versiones anteriores de AlphaGo necesitaban dos redes
neurales independientes, una para decidir la jugada y la otra para
evaluarla, lo que era menos eficiente.
El programa ha aprendido en tres días las mismas estrategias de

inicios y finales de partidas que han perfeccionado los jugadores de
go a lo largo de los siglos. En la fase media del juego, en cambio,
AlphaGo Zero ha tomado decisiones que “son verdaderamente
misteriosas y que dan a un observador la sensación de que están
viendo una partida humana muy buena, más que un ordenador
calculando”, explican en otro artículo en Nature Andy Okun y
Andrew Jackson, de la Asociación Americana de Go. El hecho de
que estas jugadas misteriosas conviertan a AlphaGo Zero en un
jugador mejor que cualquier persona “plantea la cuestión de cuánto
sabemos realmente sobre el juego”.
La técnica puede ser útil en áreas en que los humanos no son

expertos
Pero el objetivo de DeepMind no es disponer de una máquina que

juegue bien al go sino desarrollar la inteligencia artificial basada en
el aprendizaje por refuerzo. “AlphaGo Zero es más potente que las
versiones anteriores de AlphaGo porque ya no está condicionado
por los límites del conocimiento humano”, sostienen en un
comunicado Demis Hassabis y David Silver, coautores de la
investigación.
Más allá del go, señalan, esta tecnología puede ser

especialmente útil en áreas “en las que no hay una base de
conocimiento experto humanos” sobre el que construir programas
de inteligencia artificial. Frente a quienes alertan de los riesgos de la
inteligencia artificial, Hassabis y Silver defienden que “será un
multiplicador del ingenio humano que nos ayudará a resolver
algunos de los retos más importantes a los que se enfrenta la
humanidad. Si técnicas similares se pueden aplicar a otros
problemas, como el plegamiento de proteínas, la reducción del
consumo de energía o la búsqueda de nuevos materiales, tienen el
potencial de tener un efecto positivo en la sociedad”.
El peligro de las computadoras y la guerra
Una de las grandes máquinas inteligentes de la ficción es el

superordenador Skynet de la serie de películas Terminator. La idea
es que una computadora capaz de gobernar los sistemas de misiles
nucleares, en el momento en que es capaz de adquirir conciencia,
puede rebelarse contra los humanos y declarar una guerra para
acabar con la Humanidad. Hay científicos que creen que el
argumento no es sólo un entretenimiento, sino una posibilidad real
que hay que impedir que suceda. En julio pasado, más de mil
expertos en tecnología (el cofundador de Apple, Steve Wozniak y el
fundador de Tesla y SpaceX, Elon Musk), científicos (el astrofísico
Stephen Hawking) y filósofos (Noam Chomsky), firmaron una
declaración contra las armas de inteligencia artificial: “si algún poder
militar principal empuja hacia el desarrollo de armas de inteligencia
artificial, una carrera armamentística global es virtualmente
inevitable y el final de esta trayectoria tecnológica es obvio: las
armas autónomas se convertirán en los kaláshnikov del mañana”.

should perform in actual play. The grouping of the problems around
common tesujis - throw-in, placement, etc - and standard shapes -
the one, two and three space notchers on the sides, the corner L

The Ishi Press
1984
Some four thousand years ago in China a board game was

invented that so superbly combined beauty of form with depth of
strategy that it thrives essentially unchanged today. It has been
played professionally in Japan for over 350 years, but there are no
signs that the possibilities of the game have been exhausted.
Openings are not set and the player relies more on logical principles
and intuition than on memorized variations. We know this game by
its Japanese name—GO. This book presents the rules of GO in a
simple, clear and concise manner so that the beginning GO player
can start playing games in the shortest possible time. In addition,
elementary tactics and strategy, as well as the fundamentals of the
life and death of groups are covered. Example games give the
reader a feel of the flow of a game of GO. The final chapter deals
with “handicap GO” to show the reader what kind of strategies to
adopt when he starts to play his first games of GO.

This is, of course, 1001 life-and-death problems, almost all taken

from 1, 2, 3 de Tokeru Tsume-go 1000 Dai. There are 400 one-move
problems, 300 three-move problems, and 301 five-move problems.
There are eight or nine problems on a page, and each problem only
gets a single solution diagram. This is an excellent book. I love the
difficulty level of the problems: I'm an AGA 1k who's decent at life-
and-death, and I never either got overwhelmed by the difficulty of the
problems or bored by their easiness. I went through the book quite
smoothly, going through each page fairly quickly, yet finding a few
problems on each page that made me think for a bit even in the
earliest problems. The problems, of course, got more difficult as I
went from one-move problems to three-move problems to five-move
problems, and by the end of the book I was doing the problems (and
checking my solutions) in groups of 3 rather than groups of 9, but the
difficulty never got to be too much for me.

The title of the book is literally "The Classic of the Mystery of the

covering 3-4 point joseki, has been published. The obvious question
is: how does it compare to Ishida's dictionary and Rui's Essential
Joseki? I haven't done a detailed comparison between the three, and
I'm not a good enough player for the relative merits of different joseki
dictionaries to have much of an impact on me, but here's what it
seems to me: Ishida's dictionary certainly contains the largest
amount of material. Having said that, it's almost two and a half
decades old; so certainly if you're a high-dan player, you'll want
access to more up-to-date information than that, and even I
(currently an AGA 1 kyu) run into lines that aren't in that volume.
Jungsuk in Our Time is much more up-to-date, but also significantly
shorter: two volumes instead of three may not seem like much of a
difference, but the Jungsuk volumes are also less dense (averaging
around 3 diagrams per page instead of 6). (But the Jungsuk volumes
are longer, too.)
El juego de tablero japonés Go

Weiqi
PDF
El presente libro no representa un manual en el sentido usual. Las

seis lecciones pueden ser entendidas como etapas o niveles, en las
que cada cual es una ampliación de la anterior. La introducción en el
juego de Go puede ser interrumpida después de cada etapa, o dicho
de otra forma, cada etapa siguiente solo profundiza las indicaciones
previamente concluidas. Las tres reglas del juego pueden ser vistas
ya como la primera etapa o nivel. Cada lección contiene elementos
de la teoría de aperturas, medio juego y finales. El libro sirve para el
estudio individual, pero puede ser utilizado también por un maestro,
sirviéndose de las expresiones claves al comienzo de cada lección
como guía para su docencia. El libro tiene la intención también de
establecer una relación entre los jugadores independientes y las
asociaciones y clubes de Go existentes. Como muestra la
experiencia, solo a través del estudio individual no se puede
sobrepasar una determinada fuerza de juego. Es necesario el
enfrentamiento con jugadores más fuertes y de experiencia práctica
si se es ambicioso y se quiere incrementar la fuerza de juego propia.
Killer of Go. Technique and preventative
measures
por Sakata Eio
Weiqi
PDF
1994
This is a book about killing groups, or preventing your groups from

being killed. It mostly consists of examples from games, but there
are also sections on killing techniques and on preventative
measures. It's a fun book, but I don't know how much it will actually
improve your game. It's neat to see group after group dying, but I
think that the ratio of examples from games to theory is too high for
the book to be really helpful, and I think that a book on the middle
game more generally would be more helpful still. But it does have
good aspects, and in particular the Go v. Sakata game is quite nice -
the commentary runs for 36 pages, and there's often only about five
moves on a page, giving him time to go over each move in detail,
considering the sorts of moves that amateurs play all the time but
that professionals automatically reject and don't normally even
bother mentioning in commentaries.

Sakata Eio is regarded as one of the strongest go players of the

20th century. Sakata Eio was born February 15, 1920 in Tokyo,
Japan. After winning most of the major titles in the 1950s, in 1961 he
finally took the Honinbo title from Takagawa Kaku who had held it for
a record nine consecutive terms. In 1963, Sakata captured the Meijin
title, making him the first player simultaneously to hold the two titles
Meijin-Honinbo. Sakata's peak came in 1964, when he won 30
games and lost only two and held seven major titles: Meijin,
Honinbo, Nihon Ki-in Championship, Asahi Pro Best Ten, Oza, Nihon
Kiin Number One, and NHK Cup. Sakata is now 88 and lives in
Tokyo. He is retired but still active. This book, "Modern Joseki and
Fuseki, Vol. 1", was Sakata's first book published in English. It is now
regarded as a classic in Go literature. It is also the first book
published by The Ishi Press. Published in 1968, this book along with
two follow-up volumes by Sakata Eio, made The Ishi Press the
world's leading publisher on the game of go. The cover photo of this
book is historic. It shows the three leading go players in the world at
that time, plus the strongest female go player in the world at that
time. In the picture is Sakata Eio, facing, playing against Takagawa
Kaku (1915-1986). The spectator is Go Seigen, who also has a claim
to being the greatest go player of the 20th century. He was born May
19, 1914 in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, southeast China. His Chinese
name is Wu Qing Yuan, which transliterated into Japanese becomes
Go Seigen. He is still alive at age 94. The woman in the photo is
Reiko Kitani, who won the Women's Championship Tournament six
times. Not only was she the strongest woman go player of her era,
but she was the daughter, the wife, and the mother of the leading go
players of their respective times. Born December 23, 1939 in
Kanagawa, Japan, she was the daughter of Kitani Minoru, 9-dan, the
wife of Kobayashi Koichi, 9 dan, and the mother of Kobayashi Izumi,
born 1977, who has held most of the major Women Titles at one time
or another. Tragically, Reiko died of breast cancer in April, 1996.

Tesuji and Anti-Suji of Go
Sakata Series [2]
por Sakata Eio

Weiqi
PDF
1995
This is an exhaustive manual that details how sparkling technique

may bring one's game alive. 61 Model situations are examined, in
which deadly hane, exquisite placements, and stunning attachments,
among many other skillful finesse, are shown to be surprisingly
effective. The flip side of the matter, crude moves (or anti-suji) are
offered in contrast, demonstrating how thoughtless play can throw
away the chance for an advantage. The positions in the book are
illustrate in more than 700 diagrams, which makes comprehension of
the material simple, even without setting up the positions on a go
board. The layout of the book is also ideal for study and review work.
In addition, a general introduction to the subject sets the stage for
the main text, which the book ends with several examples from
actual games. In addition, the author, Sakata Eio, Honorary Honinbo,
includes a number of vignettes, in the manner of Killer of Go, the
work of his which preceded this one. This is both a thorough
enjoyable exploration into one of the most fascinating aspects of Go,
and a text which can be invaluable for growing stronger.

History of Weiqi
Weiqi
PDF
Nobody knows for sure when Weiqi (Go) was invented. According
to the legend, Emperor Yao (2357-2255 B.C.) invented Weiqi to
enlighten his son Dan Zhu. It was also recorded that Shun's son
Shang Jun was not bright and Shun (2255-2205 B.C.) invented
Weiqi to teach him. The Encyclopedia Britannica records that it was
invented in China in 2306 B.C. (Encyclopedia Americana, 2300
B.C.). Ancient literatures like Zuo Zhuan, Lun Yu, and Meng Zi,
mentioned 'Yi' (Yutopian uses Yi as our logo), the ancient word for
Weiqi. Yi has become the official name for Weiqi during the Han
Dynasty (approximately the time of Christ, 2000 years ago). Xu Shen
wrote in Shuo Wen, 'Yi is Wei Qi'. Yang Xiong wrote in Fang Yan,
'Wei Qi is known as Yi, people from Guan Dong to Qi Lu call this
game Yi.' Yi Zhi (written by Ban Gu) mentioned 'Northerners call this
(game) Yi.' In ancient Chinese language, it's not common to replace
a single character name (Yi) by a compound name (Wei Qi).
However Weiqi is an exception, because the name Wei means to
surround, and it gives a nice description of the game. Surrounding, is
a key element in the game of Weiqi. From this, we can understand
why Wei Qi has replaced Yi and become the official name.
Magic of Placements (Reseña)
2008
Making a placement - plunging into the cente rof your opponent's area to destroy eye
space, shape or to reduce territory --is full of excitement. In some cases, it will decide
who wins a game. On the other hand, the side against which the placement was played
will panic and start to get scared. What exactly is my opponent aiming for? A surprising
intrusion like this can easily make you lose your cool. This book takes a broad look at the
power of placement techniques, and their countermeasures, from joseki to the endgame.
Considering the practical and psychological effects of placements, the destructive power
of these moves can only be attributed to magic rather than physical power.

1999
This is the first volume in Yutopian's The Art of Go series. It's a

collection of problems in five chapters, on Connecting at the Edge of
the Board, Linking up by Capturing Stones, Utilizing Support From
Friendly Forces, Endgame Moves, and a catch-all chapter. Each
chapter starts with easier problems and moves on to harder ones, so
you learn by doing. It seems good. It's quite hard, so I'd recommend
it mostly for dan-level players or quite strong kyu-level players, but
it's nice to see a more advanced tesuji book available in English. The
only nit that I have to pick is that the diagrams are really ugly, but
you learn to ignore that quite quickly.

aficionados que gusten de este tipo de jugadas. La jugada en el
tengen, hoshi central o punto central, y su efectividad ha sido muy
discutida, y obviamente se necesita de unos conocimientos bien
cimentados, para lograr el éxito en la partida, descontando la
confianza en sí mismo que la destaca Kubomatsu, luego de un
fracaso, uno de sus máximos cultores. Éste gran jugador, decía que
jugaba el tengen únicamente cuando le correspondían las piedras
negras, por el valor que tiene el sente (iniciativa) en el juego de go.
Go Seigen (ó Cho Myun en la pronunciación coreana) y Kitani
Minoru también fueron cultores de esta primer jugada.
Gateway to All Marvels (Extracto)

2020
*****
The 1347 Chinese go (weiqi/baduk) classic Xuanxuan Qijing, or

Gengen Gokyo by its Japanese name, is the most significant go
book ever produced. It has become the foundation for virtually every
problem book since. Gateway to All Marvels brings together every
problem and every variant from perhaps every subsequent edition,
and discusses how the almost 500 problems and their solutions have
evolved and varied, and also how even modern professionals often
disagree on the correct solutions.
A characteristic feature of the original collection was the addition

of titles which provide clues either to remembering the problems or
to solving them. John Fairbairn has explained all these allusive titles
in detail, which means that the book is also an entertaining romp
through Chinese history and culture. The original Chinese characters
have been provided and indexed.
Discussion of the problems is also aided by identification of "key

techniques", some new, some old, so that, for example, "rooster on
one leg" now joins newcomers such as the "caterpillar connection"
and the "elbow lock". These techniques are also fully indexed, and
also (taking advantage of the Kindle format) presented in a way that
means they can be treated as optional further clues to the problems.
Hypertext links are provided not just between problems and their
solutions but also to many cross-references.
The principal texts in the ancient Chinese edition have also been
translated here. They include the complete "Go Classic in Thirteen
Chapters" and Liu Zhongfu's "Go Secrets". **

Honinbo Shuho’s 1882 classic book on “New Ways in Go” (Hoen

Shinpo) shows how he brought go to amateurs on a large scale for
the first time - through an explanation of openings from four stones
through to even game - and how he advanced the then immature art
of commentary, with notes on twenty of his own games against
Shuwa and Shusaku. One new feature was the inclusion of
psychological insights. This is a complete translation of a book that
ranks high in the list of go classics. The translation is enhanced with
notes, a detailed timeline for Shuho, and a selection of games in
which he gives handicaps, to show how he practised what he
preached.
The Fabulous Master of Go Go Seigen
por John Fairbairn
PDF
This year Go Seigen, one of the towering giants of go history, celebrates his 70th birthday
and also the 56th anniversary of his arrival in Japan. Owing to poor health, Go Seigen has
been inactive as a tournament player for nearly two decades, apart from some TV haya-go,
but he did not retire officially until this year. On 24 February a lavish party was held at the
Hotel Okura in Tokyo to celebrate his retirement and his 70th birthday and everyone who is
anyone in the go world, from the top title-holders down, attended. Because Go Seigen was
at his peak before the proliferation of the modem newspaper tournaments, he does not
have an impressive swag of titles like some of the current champions, but in a series of
jubangos (ten game matches) held in the 1930's, 1940's and early 1950's he bested every
rival and completely dominated the go scene. Not one player was able to stay on even
against him. Go Seigen also made extraordinary contributions to go theory: he was co
founder of the New Fuseki, which caused a revoution in opening theory, and he was the
most prolific inventor of josekis in go history.

Xuan Xuan Qijing
por John Fairbairn
PDF
The most celebrated (though not the oldest) go manual is the

Chinese "Xuan Xuan Qijing." It was published in 1349 by Yan Defu
and Yan Tianzhang. The former was a strong go player and the latter
(no relation) a collector of old go books. They made a perfect team.
The title of the book is literally "The Classic of the Mystery of the
Mysterious", but it is an allusion to Chapter 1 of Lao Zi's "Dao De
Jing" where the reference goes on to say that the mystery of the
mysterious is "the gateway to all marvels." I prefer that as a title,
especially as it is made clear in the preface that this latter phrase is
meant to be called to mind, and is meant to imply that the book
offers the way to mastering marvels in the form of go tesujis. It
contains, amongst other things, 387 life-and-death problems. Many
are stunningly beautiful, and the book has been copied many, many
times. The original is lost, and there are now several versions. There
are two main texts in China, the oldest being a Ming copy. The first
Japanese copy appeared in 1630, and it has appeared many times
since. In the process, small changes have crept in. The Koreans also
made copies and their main version contains a few problems not
found elsewhere. But the overwhelming core is unchanged, and
differences are almost always minor. This must be due in part to the
respect generated by the original - only a tiny handful of mistakes
have been found - and partly to its almost unique feature of naming
all the problems. The significance of these names is at least twofold.
They are more than pure whimsy. On the one hand they may provide
a way of remembering the problem. On the other, they may give a
clue to how the problem is to be solved (e.g. whether it ends in ko
instead of simple death). Both features have helped perpetuate the
original forms. The names are not explained in the original. Some
names are trivial, but many of the names refer to events, beliefs or
symbols that would have been familiar to an educated gentleman of
the time, though some would be a little testing. There is something of
the cryptic crossword clue in this. We can easily imagine the
exquisite pleasure felt when the combination of go problem and
historical allusion was savoured and solved with friends in a pavilion
overlooking a tranquil lake, aided perhaps by a little wine.I am going
to present some of these problems, one by one. For obvious reasons
I am going to have to explain the names and the allusions. It may not
be possible, therefore, to recreate the original pleasures presented
by the problems, but I hope it will create enjoyment of another kind,
and help you remember the marvellous tesujis. I will begin with one
of my own favourite combinations of problem and name.

The "Yi Zhi" - Essence of Go - is the world's earliest surviving text

devoted specifically to go. It was written by one of the foremost
scholars in Chinese history, Ban Gu, who lived from 32-92 AD. He
was a native of Anling, Fufeng, in Eastern Han - modern Xianyang
City in Shaanxi Province. He served in the time of the Eastern Han
Emperor Ming Di as Clerk of the Orchid Pavilion (a palace archive),
and as an administrator and proofreader in the Palace Library. Most
celebrated as
an historian, his works include the "Han Shu" or History of the Han

The Go Companion: Go in History and
Culture (Reseña)
por John Fairbairn & T. Mark Hall
Baduk · Go · Igo · Juegos de Tablero · Weiqi
Slate & Shell
2009
This book is a collection of articles of miscellaneous go related

subjects, some of them have been previously published in GoGoD's
New in Go column, but have often been expanded, while others are
published for the first time. As I mentioned in previous reviews, I only
buy books where I know the authors. So I had no second thoughts
about rushing to buy this latest book, one of several that have been
written by British Go players. No doubt most of you will have met
John and T. Mark at a tournament or a seminar, and a lot have
probably bought their collection of professional games, GoGoD
(Games of Go on Disc). GoGoD is not just games, but much more
including a names dictionary and a collection of Go essays. This
book is part of that collection of essays, brought now to the printed
page by American publishers Slate and Shell. My favourite Go book
is "Lessons in the Fundamentals of Go", because, as well as the
great didactic material, there are interesting bits to read in between.
The Go Companion is the reverse with some Go bits in between the
interesting things to read. It is a quite thick tome. You get 300 pages,
but don't expect too much technical material: the subtitle Go in
History and Culture tells you what to expect. Actually the collection of
essays is rather eclectic and has been put together by John and T.
Mark from various sources, whilst they have been scouring the Go
bookshops of the world. There are some Go problems and some
game records to illustrate a particular point or player, but a lot of text
only essays too. There are sections on the opening, on komi,
players, books, sexy sekis, history, modern Go, amateur and
professional Go. There is John's quite long review of Go in wartime
Japan, including the atom-bomb game, and some short two page
essays. Two guest authors feature too: Ivan Vigano has written
about blind players in Japan and Pieter Mioch has written on the
45th Judan and the 2006 World Amateur. This last piece was
especially familiar to me as I edited the IGF website version of the
essay at the time. There is a good selection of photographs to
illustrate the histories, though the printing is rather flat and the
picture on page 172 is pixilated (hopefully not by the sensor). So if
you enjoy reading more about Go than just about how to play it, then
this book is a must.

Tha AGA Song Book

The American Go Association
1998
When I attended my first Go Congress three years ago I was

astounded by the sheer number of silly Go songs everyone knew. At
the next Congress, I wondered if all these musical treasures had
ever been printed. Some research revealed that the late Bob High
had put together three collections of Go songs, but the last of these
appeared in 1990. Very few people had these song books, and
some, like me, weren’t even aware that they existed. While new
songs had been printed in the American Go Journal, there was
clearly a need for a new collection of Go songs. Last year I decided
to do whatever I could to bring the AGA Song Book up to date. I
wanted to collect as many of the old songs as I could find, as well as
the new songs that had been written since Bob High’s last song
book. You are holding in your hands the book I was looking for two
years ago. It goes without saying that this book could not exist
without the hard work of many people, but I will say so anyway. To
begin with, we would not have anything to print without the creative
efforts of our many gifted authors. But we would also have very little
to publish without the diligent efforts of our archivists: Terry Benson,
Barbara Calhoun, Craig Hutchinson, Chris Kirschner and Roy Laird. I
would especially like to thank Mary Laird, who made my job much
easier when she turned a great deal of the text into computer
readable form. I also wish to acknowledge The British Go
Association, especially T. Mark Hall and Francis Roads, for giving us
permission to reprint our favorite BGA songs. Finally, and most
importantly, it would not be possible to publish this book without a
grant from the American Go Foundation. Thank you, everyone. It has
been an honor for me to be associated with this project. I hope you
enjoy these wonderful songs. And I hope to see you, AGA Song
Book in hand, at the next U.S. Go Congress songfest!

por Ervin Fink

PDF
Mladinska Knjiga
1961
La historia de la práctica del Go en Europa empezó alrededor del

año 1900, con la fundación de un grupo de Go en un club naval de
Pula, un puerto croata en el Mar Adriático, que en ese momento era
la principal base naval Austro-húngara. Este club fue aparentemente
bastante activo, con aproximadamente 200 miembros, y cubría la
actividad a lo largo de Croacia, Eslovenia y Austria. Como
consecuencia de Primera Guerra Mundial, sólo sobrevivió un grupo
de 12 jugadores, que continuaron celebrando reuniones regulares
en Viena hasta alrededor de 1938. Finalizada la II Guerra Mundial,
Ervin Fink, quien en 1914 aprendiera a jugar Go en el club de Pula,
continuaba con la idea de desarrollar el Go y su entusiasmo lo llevó
a escribir en 1960, una serie de artículos sobre el juego en un
periódico semanal esloveno. Al año siguiente publicó el primer libro
de Go en idioma esloveno, Go igra (El juego del Go). Gracias a los
artículos mencionados, varios estudiantes universitarios que se
reunían en un club de Ajedrez de Ljubljana, empezaron a jugar Go.
Así en diciembre de 1961, se fundó el club Go Drustvo Ljubljana y
Ervin Fink fue su presidente. Ervin Fink fue dos años Presidente de
la Federación Europea de Go y en 1974 recibió el premio Okura por
los esfuerzos que realizó en la difusión del Go. Murió en 1977 a los
84 años de edad.

Gokyo Shumyo is a classical problem collection which was

published by Hayashi Genbi in 1822. Its name could be translated to
English as “Brilliances from go classics”. The collection consists
of 520 problems, which are divided into following seven sections:
1. living (103 problems)
2. killing (71 problems)

3. creating a ko (90 problems)
4. capturing races (96 problems)
5. oiotoshi (40 problems)
6. connecting (74 problems)
7. various techniques (46 problems)
Most of these problems should be solvable for almost everyone,

but some are really difficult, so feel free to skip them if you can’t find
the solution.

St. Paul, Riverside Research Press
1957
This book is concerned largely with games and their conceptual importance in our
culture. A major part is devoted to a specific game that deserves to be included in the
experience of every educated man. The word "Ki" in the title is an early phonetic form of
the Chinese logograph that in suitable combinations refers to games such as chess and go.

2003
This book deals with the history of Go in Japan from the beginning
until the late 20th century. In an easy readable style Grant describes
the characters and play style of the most important personalities of
each area of the game up to its current shape. In addition 37 special
and noteworthy games characteristic for each area are printed.
***
This book is great for anyone who is interested in the history of

Go. Some of the material can already be found on Sensei's, but it's
scattered and less detailed here. In particular, the book goes beyond
biographical facts and presents a lot of the intrigues of the day, not
just the most infamous like Jowa's machinations or Shusai's myoshu.
The book contains chunks of history, accompanied by

representative games. The comments on the games are often
minimal, but you can get a feel for the style of older games, and
some people like to play through games without commentary. But
first and foremost it's a historical book.
My biggest reservation is that I can't compare it to GoGoD, which

is the 800 lb gorilla in any discussion of Go History. I suspect there's
a lot of overlap, and wouldn't be surprised if John and T. Mark's work
is more comprehensive. When I next feel like I can afford to spend
money on Go materials, I'll buy it and tell you how they compare.

Cho Hunhyun. Life and Master Games
(Reseña)
por Cho Hun-hyeon
Nemesis Enterprises
1999
*****
Although this book just covers Cho’s games from his days in
Japan as an insei, or student of the Nihon Ki-in, it also features a
history of go in Korea. This is the only such history published in
English that I am aware of. The cover of that book is shown above.
One can see the kanji for Cho Hunhyun’s name in magenta and in
the background the hangul for the word “baduk,” the Korean word for
go. I plan to give this copy of the book to Cho this week as a gift. I
sent him a copy when the book was first published, but that was 13
years ago and Cho has probably forgotten all about it now. For many
years the Nihon Ki-in and other go associations sent players to Los
Angeles to promote the game. However, this depended on private or
corporate donations to pay the expenses. Since the downturn in the
Japanese economy those donations are hard to come by. Sasaki
Tadashi 8 dan has visited Los Angeles several times with a private
supporter. He had planned to come to Los Angeles again in
November but has suffered a stroke. Fortunately it was a mild one
and he is said to be recovering nicely. But there is no word as to
whether he can still make the trip. So it is welcome news that Cho
Hunhyun is coming to Los Angeles. Go fans will at least get to meet
this great player. Since he spent so much time in Japan as a youth,
he speaks fluent Japanese. That will make communicating with him
much easier for all of the Japanese speakers in Los Angeles. I am
looking forward to talking to him again after many years.

“This is an important addition to body of books in English

about Go.”
Andrew Okun, President, American Go Association
“Go with the Flow is a collection of anecdotes from the life of one
of the game’s great masters.” _ Will Lockhart, Film Director, The
Surrounding Game It is often said that shifting perspectives makes
all the difference, but it’s easier said than done. How can we find a
peace of mind even when we are cornered by imminent threats while
time and plans are running out? Cho Hunhyun is one of the greatest
Go masters in history, who has been held in respect in not only
Korea but also Japan and China. Since he became a professional
Go player at the age of nine, he has won 1,935 matches and taken
various championship titles as many as 160 times over 56 years,
achieving unprecedented record in the world Go history. Now, he
gives what he has learned through his life, the essence of how to
train our heart and mind. Go is a strategic board game for two
players who take turns placing a white or black stone on the board in
order to secure more territory than the opponent. No stone has a
specific role to play nor has the board a defined path to follow. The
number of cases in which a player can make by putting stones is
deemed greater than the number of atoms in our universe, which
means that the game requires a huge brainpower and strength to
win while resisting tremendous psychological pressure. That’s why
Go is known as a game of genius and a Go master is respected as a
master of life. This book tells us about his life-long training, which
has contributed his amazing achievement in Go. What is his secret?
“Victory comes to us when we contemplate with steadfast focus on
the essence,” the great Go master shows us the way to find inner
peace. He has never stopped training his heart and mind to win
games and his attitude toward life gives us an epiphany. Leading a
satisfactory life comes down to becoming a true master of our own
mind. Contending for victory in life is possible only when we gain
control of our heart and become unmoved by anything. Becoming a
bestseller in Japan and China as well as Korea right after
publication, Go with the Flow: How the Great Master of Go Trained
His Mind is now ready to meet more readers all over the world.

Inoue school and was kept secret for a long time. Igo Hatsuyo-ron
consists of 183 mostly insanely difficult problems and is aimed at
serious players with deep interest in the game. While solving the
problems takes many months, possibly even years, finding the
solution is always particularly rewarding. I wish you enjoyment and
improving in the wonderful game of go, weiqi, baduk, or whatever

There have been six stages in the history of Korean Baduk: its
introduction (Old Chosun until Unified Silla), its popularization period
(Koryo until the mid-Chosun), the dominance of Sunjang Baduk (until
the end of Chosun), the introduction of international rules (to 1945),
the rising standard of Korean Baduk (1954 - 1989), the golden age
(1989 - present day). The earliest Baduk story is told in Samguk-
Sagi (History of the Three Nations) in the volume'Paekche-bongi,

Genran

2009
Akaboshi authored the Genran, a collection of tsumego, published

in 1833. It features a total of 69 problems, with the first turn
alternating between black and white. Born 1810, Akaboshi rose to
prominence as a student of Inoue Genan Inseki, head of the House
of Inoue. By 1834, the former had attained the rank of 7 dan. Genan
desired the prestigious position of the Meijin godokoro, but was
unsuccessful as a result of political manoeuvres by Honinbo Jowa.
Instead, the title and office were obtained by Jowa with the aid of
Hayashi Gembi, an ally within the government. In response, Genan
sought to use Akaboshi, his prodigy, in an attempt to embarrass
Jowa into retirement. The "Blood-vomiting game" was the famous
match between Akaboshi, 7 dan as black, and Jowa, 9 dan as white.
It took place at the Matsudaira Go Party from 13–21 August 1835.
Black succeeded in building an early lead, utilising one of House
Inoue's secret taisha joseki. However, Jowa played a sequence of
three brilliant tesuji that turned the tide of the match in his favour,
ultimately leading to black's resignation after 246 moves. According
to Invincible, Akaboshi's health was already in decline when the
game began, but after it had ended he coughed up blood over the
board and collapsed. On 20 October 1835, Akaboshi died of
tuberculosis.

All About Thickness Understanding Moyo and Influence A

completely new kind of go book. Two-color printing makes the
advanced concepts of thickness and influence graphically clear –
and instantly understandable. Most go books are top heavy with text
and endless exploratory diagrams. Ishida's approach in this book is
the opposite – large diagrams, simple explanations, a minimum of
mind-numbing text – yet this is the most successful attempt in the go
literature to convey to go players at all levels the secrets of building
thickness and making effective use of influence. How do you build
influence? In what areas of the board should you aim to control? In
what directions to the stones exert their force? How close should you
approach a strung enemy position? How many points can you
expect to convert a thick position into? The answers to these
questions and many other questions will be apparent at a glance
when you read this book. All about thickness, the first book of its
kind, was a best seller in Japan. Go players around the world should
find th English version as Japanese go fans.

In the Beginning: The Opening in the
Game of Go
Elementary Go Series Vol. 1 [1]
por Ikuro Ishigure

Weiqi
PDF
1995
The opening is theoretically the hardest part of the game of go. To

professional players, it is the hardest part in practice, as well; in
championship games that last two days, for instance, the first day is
usually spent playing and thinking about the first 50 moves, and the
second day is spent finishing all the rest. Such is the consistency of
professional play in the middle game and endgame that if a player
comes out of the opening with a bad position, it is almost impossible
for him to catch up. Amateurs sometimes rush through their initial
moves, saving their powers for the fighting later, but this is more an
indication that they do not understand the opening than a sign of
talent. The number of possibilities in any opening position is so vast
that a player must rely on his feeling for the game rather than on
rigorous analysis for guidance. Here he has the greatest chance to
use his imagination, play creatively, and develop a personal style.
This is the one phase of go that has shown any significant evolution
during the past few centuries, and it still defies absolute
comprehension. No book can develop a person's imagination or
personal style, and this one does not make the attempt. In a sense,
therefore, it is very incomplete: the reader will not find a prescription
for every situation and in actual play he will have to make his own
choices most of the time. What we have tried to give him is a basis
to start from: some sound moves, some useful ideas, some good
examples. If we have succeeded, the following pages will help him to
increase both his skill at and enjoyment of the game.

Utilizing Outward Influence

PDF
1995
Go - Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Territory through Connection

and Influence. Each player must discover the strategy and tactics
necessary for acquiring the most territory. The work of each move is
a function of multiple threats to reate or destroy Life, Connection,
Influence, and Territory. Utilizing Outward Influence by Jin Jiang and
Zhao Zheng provides a study of how to efficiently build and use
Influence. Jiang provides numerous examples of how to construct
thickness (strongly connected strings of stones that cannot be
disconnected) and how to avoid thinness (weakly connected strings
of stones that can be disconnected). Also included are abundant
examples of sacrifice and ko tactics that can be used for constructing
large territorial frame-works (Moyos) out of influence. Seizing control
of the center is vital for gaining the most territroy. Additional
examples of using pivot points (an intersection on the edge of
opposing moyos, which, upon occupation by one side, will expand
that sides moyo and reduce the opposing moyo) for seizing control
of the center are provided. Utilizing Outward Influence is a book for
helping one reach shodan strength and reviewing the tactics and
strategies used by dan players. Over 50 problems are included
addressing: how to create thickness and avoid thinness in building
influence; using influence to create territorial frameworks (moyos);
and using influence to create territory by attacking.

El primer tratado completo sobre Go fue escrito entre 1049 y 1054

con el título de 棋经⼗三篇( Qijing Shisanpian , "Clásico de Weiqi en
trece capítulos"). Inicialmente, el Go se jugaba en una cuadrícula de
17 x 17, pero posteriormente el tablero de 19 × 19 se convirtió en el
más común durante la dinastía Tang (618-907). En China, el Go fue
considerado el juego de la aristocracia, mientras que el Xiangqi
(ajedrez chino) fue el juego más popular, paracticado por la gente
del pueblo. El Go también fue considerado como uno de los cuatro
artes, junto con la caligrafía , la pintura y la Música. Sin dudas, el
texto más importante sobre el juego del Go es el Qijing Shisanpian
, pues su estilo preciso y rebosante de información lo coloca en un
sitial de preferencia sobre todos los otros textos dedicados al Weiqi
en la literatura China.

A Dictionary of Modern Fuseki: The
Korean Style
por Kim Song June
PDF
Kiseido
2004
Of the three main stages in a game of go, the middle game is the
most exciting. This is where most of the action of a game occurs:
stones are attacked and defended or captured; potential territories
are invaded or erased; nerve-wracking ko fights and kill-or-be-killed
capturing races that can decide the outcome of the game take place.
In contrast, the opening stage is a necessary preliminary before
coming to grips with the opponent, and professionals regard it as the
most important stage of the game. This is where the foundation is
laid for the fighting that will take place in the middle game. The
wisdom of your opening strategy will determine whether you start the
middle game with an advantage over the opponent or whether you
have an inferior position that places you at a disadvantage. Many
players are happy to rely on their fighting strength to make up for a
bad start, but if your opponent is an equally strong fighter, it may be
the relative skill at the opening that will be decisive. This book is
unique in the English go literature. It analyses contemporary opening
strategy in depth, focusing on the new patterns recently developed
by the Korean players who dominate the international go scene.
Typically, it analyses the first 30 moves or so of the most important
patterns; it is the first book that makes it possible for amateurs to
play a professional-level opening.

Many Go books promise to explain the fundamentals: here is one

that really keeps its promise. Kageyama's subjects are connectivity,
good and bad shape, the way stones should 'move', the difference
between territory and spheres of influence, how to use thickness and
walls, how to train yourself to read, where to start looking in a life-
and-death problems - matters so fundamental that other writers miss
them completely. He also points out the right ways to study - how to
study josekis, for example. "What changed me from an amateur into
a professional was getting a really firm grip on the fundamentals,"
writes Kageyama. The essence of 7 years an amateur and 22 years
professional playing experience are distilled into these pages and
they are filled with advice that all Go players will find practical.

This book is a lucid exposition of the basic principles of Kajiwara's

go theory and a guide to applying these principles in your own game.
Above all else, Kajiwara emphasizes the importance of careful
analysis in order to determine the correct direction of play, that is, the
direction in which a stone or a group of stones exerts its main
influence. He demonstrates that each stone has a life of its own and
so expresses the individuality of the player. The key to a powerful
game is understanding the relationship between each stone and the
overall position, for only then can one realize the full potential of
every stone that one plays.

La explosión del fuseki de estilo la Chino parece haber pasado su

momento de mayor estudio ya los ve usted en casi todos las
partidas como una que se realizo hace aproximadamente un año,

profundidades que deben ser explorados en los modelos del estilo
Chino, pasará un largo tiempo antes de alguien puede manifestar

Kato's Attack And Kill (Chapter 1)

The Ishi Press
1978
Attacking enemy stones is one of the most basic elements in any

game of go, yet surprising little has been written about any theory of
attacking. Methods of attack, selection of a target, timing, contriving
a double attack – these are techniques which require a lot of trial and
error to master. “Kato's attack and Kill” offers an invaluable shortcut.
The author, Kato Honinbo, is known and feared as one of the most
aggressive attacking players in modern go and in this book he
presents a thorough and practical analysis of all the elements
essential for a successful attack. There are a numerous examples
from actual play, a problem section, and a selection of Kato's own
games which feature attacking and killing large groups. Reading this
book will transform your game.

Atacar piedras enemigas es uno de los elementos básicos en

cualquier partido de go, sin embargo, se ha escrito poco sobre
cualquier teoría de ataque. Métodos de ataque, selección de un
objetivo, tiempo, idear un doble ataque: estas son técnicas que
requieren mucha prueba y error para dominar. "Kato's attack and
Kill" ofrece un atajo invaluable. El autor, Kato Honinbo, es conocido
y temido como uno de los jugadores de ataque más agresivos en el
mundo moderno y en este libro presenta un análisis exhaustivo y
práctico de todos los elementos esenciales para un ataque exitoso.
Hay numerosos ejemplos del juego real, una sección de problemas
y una selección de juegos propios de Kato que incluyen atacar y
matar a grandes grupos. Leer este libro transformará tu juego.
The Chinese Opening: The Sure-Win
Strategy

Ishi Pr
1833
This is a book on the Chinese opening. In algebraic notion, black's

first three moves are Q16, Q3, and then either Q9 or R9. It's
supposed to be somewhat balanced between influence and territory,
so it's not as biased towards influence as is, say, the sanren-sei. The
chapters in the book are on The Concept of the Chinese Fuseki, The
Star-Point Stone, The 3-4 Point Stone, Large-Scale Frameworks -
Building and Destroying, The Two-Space High Pincer, and The
Chinese Fuseki in Action.

This book is one of my favorite introductions to go. It's in German,

which is a bit of a problem for some of us, but if you live in Germany,
it's quite good. It has a history of go, some go fables, the rules, some
"philosophy", some commented games, and some appendices. It
also has tons of pictures, usually of Japanese or Chinese art
involving go.

Go: The World's Most Fascinating Game
Introduction
It is roughly estimated that the number of amateur Go players all

over the world amounts to nearly ten million. There seem to be about
fifty thousand players in Europe and America at present, and owing
to a recent Go boom the number is rapidly increasing. It is generally
believed that the essence of the attraction of Go consists in a kind of
Oriental mystique, but there is no game so rational and intellectual.
Indeed the game may appear profound and mysterious to outsiders,
but every problem connected with the process and outcome can be
explained and solved in logical terms. It is quite natural that such a
superlative game has become so popular among millions of people
outside of Asia. It is our great pleasure that, in response to the
growing enthusiasm for Go in Europe and America, we have been
able to publish this book intended for complete beginners. We have
devoted our whole energies to the compilation of this book, which
will be followed by a series of books for more advanced players. We
shall be very happy if this book can be of any help in making this
splendid and unique game familiar to more people abroad. Lastly we
must add with sincere gratitude that we have received financial aid
for this publication from the Japanese Government and the Nihon
Bankoku Hakurankai Kinen Kyokai (Commemorative Association for

1979
1st World Amateur Go Championship (1979). In recent years there

has been a boom in Go activity overseas and the popularity of the
game has risen dramatically throughout the world.
The Nihon Ki - in has endeavoured to promote exchange with
overseas players through such projects as sending professional
players on instruction tours and inviting overseas players to Japan.
The realisation of a large- scale international tournament, long the
dream of Go fans everyw here, is a source of profound satisfaction
to us.
The size of this tournament, with thirty- two participants from four
continents, is an indication of the international popularity of Go. The
technical artistry and profundity of the game make it truly universal.
The promotion of international friendship through Go is the true
aim of this tournament. We hope, therefore, that it will not only
contribute to raising the technical skill of the players but also to
promoting cultural exchange.

1980
Everyone has his own opinion on how the 1980's are going to turn
out , but what with all the problems we are confronted with, in
energy, world politics and economics, they look like being a period of
violent change, of opacity, of insecurit y, in short , a period with rather
a dark image. Needless to say, it is in just such a period that the
problem of international relations and mutual understanding among
the peoples of the world assumes a greater importance than ever.
There is a saying that 'go is speaking with one ' s hands', Words
are not needed. It is my hope that
cultural exchange through this non - verbal medium can make a
contribution, however small , to the peace and security of the world.

This tournament has now reached its third year and · it is a source
of considerable satisfaction for all concerned that each year the
number of participating countries has increased, thus deepening the
bonds of friendship within the international go community. Since the
first go delegation visited China twenty years ago, the
internationalisation of go has proceeded apace, with exchange tours
becoming more and more frequent.

Korea is the country with the highest density of go players of the

world. This is for a large part due to their high developed system of
education. These are the books developed in Korea for training
ambitious players. The author Kim Sung-Rae has a masters degree
in Education and is a professional go player as well. He is a lecturer
at the Meong-yi university faculty of Baduk. The books contains
problems on the following subject: close combat, opening, joseki,
endgame, joseki, whole board. The answers are in a separate
booklet. Together with the answers booklet, this is an ideal tool for
self study. In Korea this way of studying, solving problems, is
considered the most effective way of advancing one's playing
strength. For ambitious and/or strong players only.

2012
Learn the Asian strategy game of Go with this user-friendly,

expert guide.
Go was invented some four thousand years ago in China, and is

the oldest game in the world, still enjoyed today. Played with black
and white stones, it is easy enough to be enjoyed by any beginner,
yet sophisticated and complex enough to baffle an expert. Like
chess, it is a game of skill, not chance; whereas chess is a battle.
Japanese go expert Mr. Kishikawa's easy-to-follow book explains
the fundamental principles of the game for the Westerner. From the
basic rules of play, the author leads the reader in easy stages to the
more advanced subtleties of go. Over a hundred diagrams, with
twenty problems and answers, make this a complete introduction to
one of the most fascinating and rewarding games in the world.

38 Basic Joseki
Elementary Go [2]
por Kosugi Kiyoshi & James Davies

Weiqi
PDF
1973
In the game of go, the opening moves focus on the corners of the
board. Over the thousands of years of go playing, this aspect of the
game has been intensively studied and a large number of opening
formulas, or josekis, have been discovered and refined. Every go
player needs to have a working knowledge of the basic ones. 38
Basic Joseki cuts incisively through the labyrinth of joseki to give the
reader a solid grounding in the subject. Working steadily out from the
3–3 point to the 4–5 point, it surveys the principal variations of the 38
most common corner patterns, pointing out the key ideas in each
and showing the reader how to choose and use josekis in relation to
other stones on the board.

The Theory and Practice of Go
por Oscar Korschelt
Baduk · Game of Go · Go · Igo · Juegos de Tablero · Weiqi
PDF
Charles E. Tuttle Co., Inc.
2018
This book was originally published in German in 1880 as a series of articles. I think that
it was the first extended description of go in a European language. Its chapters are: The
Game of Go, The History of Go, The Rules of Play, Illustrative Games, Problems, End
Plays, and Murase Shuho's Theory of Openings. So it is designed to serve as an
introduction to the game (not only presenting the rules but also some history), and to give
you a lot to think about once you've learned the rules. This was a very good book for its
time, but I wouldn't recommend it to anybody now, because there are much better books
doing all of its functions. It uses algebraic notation to excess, has problems that vary
wildly in difficulty and that you certainly wouldn't be able to solve using the facts given in
the book, and I don't think that Korschelt really understands go very well. The chapter on
openings is kind of interesting but certainly not something that you would want to give to
a beginner, since it gives the impression that these (full-board) openings are the
equivalent of opening patterns in chess. (I'm not sure that Korschelt doesn't think that
himself; in general, he likes to relate everything to the way that things are done in
studying/analyzing chess, with the chess methods considered superior.) It's hard to figure
out who the target audience for this book should be. To sum: be grateful that this book
was written, but don't buy it or read it yourself.

1992
Learning Joseki is an important step on the road to mastering go.

However, learning how to choose the winning joseki is even more
important. This excellent book bridges the gap between fuseki, the
opening moves of the game, and joseki. Joseki are sequences of
plays in the corners that give a local result that is equal in value to
both white and black. By playing a joseki you ensure that you avoid
mistakes. But the corner interacts with the rest of the board and the
biggest mistake of all may have been the joseki you chose. Here a
master of the game presents 24 typical opening situations. In each
situation the author proposes 3 different strategies for play in one of
the corners and then analyzes
the whole board situation. Although locally all three moves are
plausible, that is to say they are josekis, from the whole board point
only one of the strategies is superior. The preferred and inferior
moves are then analyzed in great detail. From these examples you
will gain an insight into when and why one joseki is better than
another. Cover: An ukiyoe print by Kuniyoshi (1847-50). This print
shows a quarrel between Kudo Suketsune (drawing his sword) and
Sasaki Nobutsuna. Mt. Fuji rises in the background. The date is the
1180's. In 1193, Suketsune died in one of the most famous vendettas
in Japanese history. From the collection of John Power. About the
AuthorKunihisa Honda is a professional go player. He was born on
born June 15, 1945. Honda became a professional in 1961. He was
promoted to 9 dan in 1973. He won the Kansai Ki-in's Oteai four
times. He also visited China twice, in 1973 and 1985, for Go related

La Isla
1983
El Go es considera como el más antiguo y más fascinante de los

juegos que se conocen. Es como si la humanidad hubiera sido
capaz de mejorar su creación hace 4.000 años. Hubo un colo intento
con éxito relativo: el ajedrez, el cual requirió complicadas reglas que
debieron ajustarse varias veces a lo largo de los siglos para
aproximarse en sutileza y profundida al Go. Este libro tiene el
propósito de llevar las explicaciones del Go hasta más allá de ese
punto de desconcierto, y hacer vislumbrar a quien se inicia en el
juego, el placer que sienten los jugadores un poco avanzados. Las
explicaciones son de dificulta gradual, de modo que el lector debe
seguirlas metódicamente, tratando de responder todas las preguntas
que se le formlan. La respuesta correcta se encuentra dando la
vuelta a la página, y serecomienda que en caso de error, se vuelve
hacia atrás has comprender la causa de la equivocación. La primera
parte de libro está concebida para ser seguida sin necesidad de
reproducir las jugadas en el tablero. Pero se recomienda que, al
empezaar la segunda parte, se comience a jugar frecuentemente y
se sigan las explicaciones sobre el tablero.

Kido Magazine 1924-1999
Upon the founding of the Nihon Ki-in (Japanese Go Association) in

1924, Kido magazine was founded in October of that year as its
flagstaff publication. It was written by and for professional and strong
amateur go players, with the emphasis on complex analysis and
innovative play. It continued in existence for 75 years, until the
summer of 1999. The quality of the articles in Kido was always
outstanding. This is not surprising since one of its founders and
guiding lights was the president of a newspaper. In addition,
newspaper writers formed the core of the staff and contributions
were received from the top literary figures of the day. One need only
mention the Nobel Prize winner Kawabata Yasunari, whose roman-
a-clef, “Meijin” (published in English as “The Master of Go”),
chronicles the retirement game of the last master of the last
remaining hereditary House of Go, the Honinbo. With such a
foundation, the writing in Kido was always cultured, often a cut
above standard newspaper fare. (Which says much for it, since the
newspapers in Japan are written at a very high level to cater for a
population in which 98% are literate.) There were always poetic and
classical allusions in the articles of Kido, making them a source of
fascination for the writing as well as the games. All of the technical
articles here have been translated from Kido, with the date of the
issue identified. It is a shame if some of the proud history of the
magazine fades away. Readers are encouraged to seek out
whatever copies of the magazine may be found and savor them for
themselves.

Objectives of this book To explain which points are vital in given

shapes. To show how good shape is achieved, and bad shape
exploited, in fighting contexts. To integrate shape proverbs into your
knowledge of go. To look behind the proverbs to another level of
more explicit mechanism, to provide supporting material, and to
explain exceptions. To break down the barrier between tesuji and
joseki points of view, connecting pure intuitions with learned
knowledge. To demystify many common tesuji. To help the reader to
visualise how and where a tesuji might happen in the future, a
requirement for a dan player. To discuss the choice of variation at a
point in a joseki, when tactical reasons alone aren’t a sufficient
guide. To address as we go along questions about suji, or correct
style, covering some of the content of the many texts on ‘kata and
suji’ in the Japanese literature. To contribute to the local, critical
theory of go, by attempting a systematic listing of possibilities in a
pattern, with criteria for choosing amongst them. To develop an
ingrained respect in the reader for the principles of good shape (for
example: connect but remain light and flexible, don’t fill in your own
liberties without very good reason, develop rapidly but also take into
account eye shape). To provide a reference on shape (there are an
index of shapes and a proverb index at the end, to help you refer to
particular patterns). To show in action the comparative method of go
study. **

Go Super Book
In the 1960’s, the Japan Go Association (Nihon Kiin) published the popular “Go Super
Books,” a series of theme-oriented instructional volumes for mid-level players. Immensely
popular in Japan, they became legendary among the small, newly formed, rising American
go community. Many Western players owned “Super Books” even though we spoke no
Japanese, just to derive what benefit we could from studying the diagrams. Now for the
first time, we can study the diagrams and read about them too. When former AGA
President John Stephenson and translator Stephen Bretherick decided to produce
translations of Japanese material for the AGA, they chose well for this wonderful first
effort. With more and more serious beginners entering the US go scene, there is a growing
need for material that will help up-and-coming players to climb the ladder of success by
defeating those above. The AGA is extremely grateful to the Wings Across Calm Water go
club for producing and distributing this book on the AGA’s behalf. In a wonderful irony of
life in the 21st century, an AGA Chapter that exists only in cyberspace has placed this
book in your hands. This is a book that goes beyond the usual review of moves and
sequences, suggesting productive goals and attitudes and then showing how to back them
up. Most English-language writing on handicap go counsels patience and restraint for the
weaker player. Take your time, we are told, and let the handicap stones assert their
power. This book, in contrast, advocates a more aggressive stance. The first four words of
commentary on Basic Position 1: “Don’t be too respectful.” Learn to refute these White
overplays, and suddenly shodan may not seem so far away.

Japanese Game of Go (Reseña)
por Fukumensi Mihori
PDF
Tourist Library
1939
This is a short introduction to go. It gives an introduction to the

game, talking about its features and strong points; a history of the
game (up to 1939; a lot has changed since then!); and then tells you
how to actually play it. As an introduction to the game, it's okay; and
it is quite nice seeing an older historical introduction. But what makes
this book so wonderful is the pictures. There are many lovely brown-
and-white photographs throughout the book; many of them show
people that are now famous historical figures. (There are several of
Honinbo Shusai, in particular.) They show the game in action, giving
you an insight on the game that you won't get from reading a normal
introductory book. In particular, the book ends with eight photos
showing various stages of a game between Segoe Kensaku and Go
Seigen. I've scanned in the photos; to see them, click on the links at
the bottom of this page.
This book is, of course, long out of print and unavailable; I only
managed to get a copy through the extreme generosity of Edward
Wallner. It is available in some university libraries, though. (Look
under `Mihori'.)
John Fairbairn says:
The author Mihori Fukumenshi is the famous Mihori Tadashi (also

politely read Mihori Sho) who died only last November. [Ed. Nov.
1996.] He is perhaps the most famous go writer ever.
Fukumenshi (Incognito) was the pen name used by the go

journalists of the Yomiuri Shinbun, and as the third Fukumenshi
Mihori covered the famous Kamakura 10-game match between Go
Seigen and Kitani Minoru. His descriptions of the first game of that
match (where Kitani collapsed with a nosebleed and Go played on)
are classics that rank among the most reprinted go pieces of all time.
He also used the pen name Okame Sanjin.

****
Go (Weiqi in Chinese) is one of the most popular games in East

Asia, with a steadily increasing fan base around the world. Like
chess, Go is a logic game but it is much older, with written records
mentioning the game that date back to the 4th century BC. As
Chinese politics have changed over the last two millennia, so too has
the imagery of the game. In Imperial times it was seen as a tool to
seek religious enlightenment and was one of the four noble arts that
were a requisite to becoming a cultured gentleman. During the
Cultural Revolution it was a stigmatized emblem of the lasting effects
of feudalism. Today, it marks the reemergence of cultured gentlemen
as an idealized model of manhood. Marc L. Moskowitz explores the
fascinating history of the game, as well as providing a vivid snapshot
of Chinese Go players today. Go Nation uses this game to come to a
better understanding of Chinese masculinity, nationalism, and class,
as the PRC reconfigures its history and traditions to meet the future.

"In this vivid and engaging study of Weiqi , Moskowitz demystifies
an overlooked part of everyday life in China. Along the way, he
exposes readers to the pressures of becoming a man in China today.

In handicap games, the handicap stones are high on the star points
and are not efficient in securing territory. It is therefore natural and
strategically correct for Black to emphasize influence. However, kyu-
level players lack the ability and the confidence to play an influence-
oriented game; instead of taking chances on positions in which the
territorial boundaries are not clearly defined and are often wide open,
they prefer to build iron-clad territories in the corners and on the
sides. This is strategically unsound. Kyu-level players also tend to
play defensively and are not inclined to attack the stronger player.
The result is that their opponent steadily starts gaining an advantage
in both territory and influence after the first few moves of the game.
The correct strategy for Black in handicap games is to place priority
on building influence and to use this influence to relentlessly attack.
This way of playing might seem to be unreasonable against a strong
opponent, but it will actually make your handicap games less
complicated and your strategic goals more clear. It is the aim of this
book to teach the principles and techniques that will enable the kyu-
level player to play this kind of game. Handicap Go starts out with a
chapter laying out 20 principles that a player should constantly keep
in mind while playing their games. The second chapter outlines a
‘sure-win strategy’ that Black can use in his games to increase his
chances of winning. The third chapter looks at handicap games from
the viewpoint of White. The fourth chapter presents four example
games. The book ends with 38 problems that expand on the
theoretical discussions contained in the first chapters and explore
variations that were omitted there. **

that job well. The commentaries average out to 28 pages/game, and
none of them is shorter than 20 pages, so they spend a lot of time
explaining stuff. There's a bit of historical commentary as well, which
is nice.

Go, born in ancient China, is certainly a mental sport. A scholar in

the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368) stated that a saint in Chinese
mythology created go to enlighten people and handed it down to
posterity. Whether or not there is any truth in his remark, it is safe to
say that the game is on the side of a couple of thousand years old.
Go soon started to spread to a wide range of ancient Chinese
culture. In spite of a lot of twists and turns a playing population grew
during subsequent centuries.

Este librín está orientado a difundir el juego del Go. Aquí

encontrará algo acerca de su historia, las reglas y principios básicos
que rigen el juego, explicados en un tablero mucho menor que el
reglamentario (9x9), a fin de facilitar el aprendizaje de quienes
tengan interés en conocer cómo es el Go.

La historia del Go comenzó en China hace más de 4.000 años. No

obstante, aún existe la incógnita del origen preciso del juego que
está mencionado en las leyendas e historias de los Tibetanos y
Chinos. Lo cierto es que las escrituras más antiguas y leyendas más
concretas sobre el inicio del Go datan del año 2.300 aC. Aqui se
recojen los registros más antiguos que se conocen sobre este
hermoso juego.

Hajime Yasunaga fue uno de los jugadores amateurs más fuertes

de Japón, además de ser un estudioso de las raíces de la historia
del Go. Mi intención es presentar en este breve trabajo, a un
personaje del campo amateur, que dejó una huella indeleble al paso
del tiempo. Toda la actividad de su vida, giró en torno al Go y si bien
no se profesionalizó como jugador, fue un profesional del Go, en el
terreno de la investigación y el periodismo. Espero que los dos
partidos que adjunto, los ayuden a descubrir la calidad, precisión y
agresividad de su juego.
Go: los diez mandameintos
Nikkai [4]

PDF
© Nikkai
Los Diez mandamientos o preceptos del Go fueron escritos por

Wang Chi Shin o Wang Ji Xin, importante gobernador chino durante
el reinado de la dinastía Tang (618 a 907 dc.). Wang fue un
renombrado jugador en su tiempo, al punto que se tejieron varias
historias en torno a su figura y hasta una famosa leyenda, que
señalaba que Wang habría aprendido los secretos del juego de una
vieja y misteriosa mujer.
Go en Europa

En varios textos europeos del Siglo XVII se menciona

detalladamente el juego del Go. Existen cuarenta y ocho pasajes
muy conocidos, provenientes de dos fuentes: los viajes de Matteo
Ricci y de Nildaas Trigault -dos misioneros Jesuitas- a China.
Go para principiantes
Nikkai [7]

PDF

2004
Este ensayo tiene por objeto ayudar a los jugadores que se inician
en la aventura del Go, a comprender conceptos estratégicos y
tácticos que rigen este juego. Por supuesto sería demasiado
pretencioso que con algunos ejemplos como los que se verán aquí,
alguien pueda decir “sé jugar al Go”. La idea de la obra es que quien
conozca las reglas y tenga una breve experiencia como jugador,
mire el tablero de una forma distinta, reconociendo formas y puntos
estratégicos, conceptos que le ayudarán a entender los
fundamentos principales del Go. Esto es solo un approach al Go,
que nos servirá de guía para saber que aspectos son importantes en
el juego y a la vez, despertará su interés en el estudio profundo de
éstos y otros principios, para lo cual deberá basarse en los trabajos
escritos por profesionales del Go.
El juego del Go. Historia del desarrollo
táctico y estratégico
Nikkai [8]

Baduk · Ensayo Histórico · Go · Igo · Nikkai · Weiqi
PDF

Al hablar de cambios o avances en Go, podemos referirnos a dos

aspectos, uno de orden reglamentario y otro relacionado a la táctica
y estrategia del juego. Ambos, con el paso del tiempo sufrieron
modificaciones y éstos cambios están relacionados
principalmente, con el desarrollo de una etapa del juego, la apertura.
En las páginas siguientes, veremos los fundamentos de esta división
de la historia del Go, basada en innovaciones de carácter
reglamentario, táctico o estratégico.
Historia del Go en la República
Argentina

Al hablar del Go en la República Argentina, debemos retroceder

unos treinta años en el tiempo y recurrir a la memoria de los
personajes que hicieron posible, de una u otra manera, que el Go se
conozca en nuestro país. La práctica del Go en la Argentina, tuvo su
origen en la década del ´70 (1970), cuando el Ing. Hilario Fernandez
Long conoció el juego del Go e inició gradualmente su difusión.
Historias de Go
Nikkai [10]

PDF
© Nikkai
Historias de Go es un libro para quienes se maravillan con los

conocimientos del pasado y aman el origen de las cosas. Contiene
leyendas, cuentos y narraciones de la China, el Tíbet, Corea y
Japón. No pretende ser una obra de absoluto rigor histórico, sino
más bien una obra de referencia, que cumpla con el objetivo de
difundir el Go y entretener al lector que ya conoce -al menos- las
reglas del juego. Sólo una pequeña parte de la rica historia del Go
en Asia, ha sido tratada en éstas páginas. Desde el inicio de los
tiempos han existido personajes imborrables para la memoria
colectiva de los orientales y ellos dan vida a ésta obra, dirigida a
quienes desean profundizar sus conocimientos sobre el inicio y
desarrollo de éste
insuperable... ¿juego?
Korea Town y Baduk en Buenos Aires
Nikkai [11]

En Latinoamérica existen grandes comunidades de japoneses,

coreanos y chinos, que emigraron de sus países de origen para
procurarse un futuro mejor, en estos pagos. El ordenamiento que le
di a éstos extranjeros en el párrafo anterior, no es casual.
Inicialmente, los argentinos sólo conocíamos a los japoneses, pero
con el correr de los años se sumaron al contingente migratorio los
coreanos y los chinos.
Utilizando las 36 estrategias chinas
Nikkai [12]

PDF

Los chinos –históricamente- han sido grandes estudiosos de las

estrategias y tácticas de la guerra. Sun Tzu fue un general chino que
vivió alrededor del siglo V antes de Cristo. La colección de ensayos
sobre el arte de la guerra atribuida a Sun Tzu es el tratado sobre
dicho tema más antiguo que se conoce. A pesar de su antigüedad,
esta obra domina sobre cualquier otra relacionada al tema. La otra
obra importante es la referida a las 36 estrategias chinas sobre la
guerra, que aquí abordaremos.
Las escuelas de Go
Nikkai [13]

2004
Este ensayo está dirigido a los jugadores de Go en formación,

quienes experimentan dificultades en entender el flujo de un partido
y el porqué de algunos movimientos. La historia de la escuelas que
dieron origen a las técnicas de juego actuales, está cimentada en el
juego fluido de genios como Dosaku, Shusaku, Shuwa, Yasui Senchi
Senkaku y tantos otros, que aportaron su talento para el desarrollo
del Go. Nada de esto hubiera sido posible sin la aparición de las
familias o escuelas de Go, que estudiaron profundamente para
encontrar nuevos movimientos tácticos y estratégicos, que dieron
origen al Go moderno. Finalmente, deseo dedicarle este ensayo a
los jugadores de Rosario (República Argentina), en homenaje a su
constante apoyo e interés por la difusión del juego del Go.

Ota Yuzo. El Jozu rebelde
Nikkai [15]

PDF
© Nikkai
Ota Yuzo, un hombre que hizo respetar sus ideas, banales o no,
en contraposición a las exigencias de las máximas autoridades de
su época. Por eso, Ota Yuzo representa un grito de libertad en una
época en que todos cedían a las demandas de poder supremo,
representado por el Shogún. Los diagramas y explicaciones
contenidos en la obra, les permitirán –al menos- entender el
desarrollo de un partido de Go y el porqué se juega en determinados
lugares a medida que éste avanza. Y para los que ya entienden el
juego, podrán apreciar la fortaleza de quien fuera además una
artista del kabuki, en el tablero.

Análisis de cinco partidos de los mejores jugadores del Siglo XX,

en circunstancias muy especiales que hacen a la competencia de
los profesionales frente a un tablero de Go. Entre ellos el partido del
retiro del último Honinbo, Shusai, el genio del Weiqi, Go Seigen
intentando ser el mejor jugador de Japón, Nie Weiping
consagrándose frente a los nipones, el surgimiento del Baduk
coreano desde las sombras del Igo japonés, el extraordinario Ma
Xiaochun y el increíble Fujisawa Shuko.
Algunos Senryu sobre Go

PDF
El sen-ryu es la única forma literaria que explora y expresa la

naturaleza del avidya y sus manifestaciones en la vida humana. Fue
introducido en Japón a mediados del Siglo XVIII, principalmente a
través de los esfuerzos de un hombre, Karai Hachiemon cuyo
seudónimo era Senryu, que significa `río del Sauce'. Este género
literario ha sido cultivado desde entonces, por varias generaciones
de poetas...
Japanese Prints and the World of Go
por William Pinckard
Arte · Baduk · Catalogo · Go · Igo · Japanese Prints · Japón ·
Pintura · Weiqi
PDF
The purpose of this catalogue is twofold: to enlarge the

understanding of print collectors who may be unaware of the long
historical and legendary background of a game that has for centuries
engaged the interest of many artists in Japan; and to enrich the
experience of go players by presenting works that reveal some of the
large body of traditions and associations connected with the game in
Japan's cultural life. Although artists were inspired by the game of go
to work the theme in several media--wood, ivory, metal, textiles, and
clay, and while the motif appears on numerous scroll and screen
paintings-- it is in woodblock prints (ukiyo-e) that its image is most
frequently found.

Fujisawa Shuko was one of Japan’s top players from the 1960s.
Among his contemporaries, he ranks with Go Seigen and Sakata Eio
for his creativity and the depth of his understanding of Go. His two
greatest achievements were becoming the first tournament Meijin in
1962 and winning the first six terms of the Kisei title from 1977 to
1982. Shuko won this title against Hashimoto Utaro at 52, an age at
which most pros are washed up as title contenders. He went on to
defend this title against challenges from the young stars of the day
who were dominating all the other titles: Kato Masao, Ishida Yoshio,
Rin Kaiho, and Otake Hideo. This book presents all 40 games that
Fujisawa played in the Kisei title matches, including the seven in
which he was dethroned by Cho Chikun. Most of these games were
first published in Go World, but two against Hashimoto never
appeared there and one had only an extremely brief commentary.
John Power has provided new commentaries for these games to
make this volume complete. Studying and playing through these
games will give you an appreciation of the profundity of Go and the
genius of Fujisawa Shuko.

Summary
Deep Learning and the Game of Go teaches you how to apply the
power of deep learning to complex reasoning tasks by building a Go-
playing AI. After exposing you to the foundations of machine and
deep learning, you'll use Python to build a bot and then teach it the
rules of the game.
Foreword by Thore Graepel, DeepMind
About the Technology

The ancient strategy game of Go is an incredible case study for AI.
In 2016, a deep learning-based system shocked the Go world by
defeating a world champion. Shortly after that, the upgraded
AlphaGo Zero crushed the original bot by using deep reinforcement
learning to master the game. Now, you can learn those same deep
learning techniques by building your own Go bot!
About the Book
Deep Learning and the Game of Go introduces deep learning by

teaching you to build a Go-winning bot. As you progress, you'll apply
increasingly complex training techniques and strategies using the
Python deep learning library Keras. You'll enjoy watching your bot
master the game of Go, and along the way, you'll discover how to
apply your new deep learning skills to a wide range of other
scenarios!
What's inside

The most difficult of all Go problems, created by Inoue Dosetsu

Inseki (1646 - 1719), has still not been solved by professional Go
players. The long-standing collaboration of three amateurs from
Germany and the United Kingdom has now found the answer!
This book celebrates the problem-collection’s 300th anniversary

and is the most comprehensive collection of information about this
stunning problem. The book discusses what the authors believe to
be the solution to the problem, including an in-depth treatment of the
failed lines. All move sequences are explained in great detail. The
same is true for the additional work on theoretical issues that are
fundamental to the problem (e.g. hanezeki, approach-move liberties,
and ko).

Master the fascinating game of Go with this expert guidebook.Go is

a two player board game that first originated in ancient China but is
also very popular in Japan and Korea. There is significant strategy
and philosophy involved in the game, and the number of possible
games is vast—even when compared to chess. Go has enthralled
hundreds of millions of people in Asia, where it is an integral part of
the culture. In the West, many have learned of its pleasures,
especially after the game appeared in a number of hit movies, TV
series, and books, and was included on major Internet game sites.
By eliciting the highest powers of rational thought, the game draws
players, not just for the thrills of competition, but because they feel it
enhances their mental, artistic, and even spiritual lives.Go! More
Than a Game is the guidebook that uses the most modern methods
of teaching to learn Go, so that, in a few minutes, anyone can
understand the two basic rules that generate the game. The object of
Go is surrounding territory, but the problem is that while you are
doing this, the opponent may be surrounding you! In a series of
exciting teaching games, you will watch as Go's beautiful
complexities begin to unfold in intertwining patterns of black and
white stones. These games progress from small 9x9 boards to
13x13 and then to the traditional 19x19 size.Go! More Than a Game
has been completely revised by the author based on new data about
the history of early Go and the Confucians who wrote about it. This
popular book includes updated information such as the impact of
computer versions on the game, the mysterious new developments
of Go combinatorics, advances in Combinatorial Game Theory and a
look at the current international professional playing scene.
The Power of the Star-Point the Sanren-
Sei Opening (Reseña)
por Takagawa Shukaku & John Power
PDF
Ishi Press Archives
2015
*****
The Sanren-Sei, which consists of three stones played in a row on

the star-points on one side, is the most powerful and dramatic of
modern fuseki patterns, yet it is the easiest to master. He has
enjoyed consistent popularity ever since it was invented because of
its emphasis on developing a bold, attacking style. In this lucid
explanation, Takagawa Shukaku helps you grasp its key concepts
and shows you how to use it to secure center influence and build
large moyos. He gives a comprehensive coverage of Sanren-Sei
basics, then shows it in action in top-level professional play. Sanren-
sai strategy is easy both to understand and to apply. The main
themes of this opening are clear and compelling, and there are
relatively few josekis to memorize, yet by the time you finish this
book you will understand why it has been the favorite fuseki of so
many great players. **
Dictionary of Basic Tesuji 1
por Fujisawa Shuko
PDF
2009
Fujisawa Shuko's Dictionary of Basic Tesuji is neither a dictionary

nor limited to tesuji; it is rather, as Charles Matthews puts it, the
"current standard work" collecting and categorizing moves by
function, not form. It was originally published in 1978 in two volumes
by the Nihon Kiin; an English translation in four volumes by Steve
Bretherick? was published by Slate and Shell between 2004 and
2007. The book is divided into sections based upon the goal to be
achieved: tesuji for "separating", tesuji for "pressing down", etc. (see
the table of contents below.) At the start of each section are a few
paragraphs explaining the goal and its role in a game. The text is
followed by a list of methods (tesuji) that may be used to achieve
that goal. The "Separating" section, for instance, includes "one-
space jump descent," "solid descent," "sideways bump," and fifteen
others, each with its own theme diagram and single paragraph text
description. Following the list of methods in each section is a
selection of problems, some of which are taken from classic problem
collections: Katsugo Shinpyo, Gokyo Shumyo, Guanzi Pu, Gokei
Genmyou, and even Igo Hatsuyoron. The problems are interspersed
with examples from real games. The book is not presented as a
narrative continuity; the volumes of the series, and the sections
within the volumes, may be read independently of each other. There
is also no progression in level or difficulty as the series progresses.
This series could be considered to be dan-level, but many of the
techniques it presents can be useful to strong kyu players.

Invincible. The Games of Shusaku
por Shusaku & John Power
Weiqi · 围棋 · ⼤师
PDF
1996
THE SAINT OF GO: Shusaku was the leading player of the golden
age of go in the mid-19th century. He has become known to later
generations as the Saint of Go (Kisei or Gosei) and is recognized by
modern players as one of the greatest geniuses in the history of the
game. His victories over his contemporaries in a number of matches
contributed to his reputation, but its main foundation is his perfect
record, not even approached by any other player, of nineteen
successive wins in the annual castle games played in the presence
of the shogun.
SHUSAKU'S REPUTATION: Shusaku is considered the best
model for aspiring professional players to study, especially his
games with black. He was unexcelled in his complete mastery of the
strategic principles and the practical techniques of go. His games are
a treasure house of all the varied elements of the game, from the
fuseki to the endgame, but in particular they provide amateur players
with ideal material for studying the art of fighting in the middle game.
Here are some 20th century views of Shusaku: "Shusaku simplified
the complexity of go, concealing his great strength and profound
analysis beneath the smooth surface of his game... It is not an
exaggeration to say that all the principles and all the techniques of
go are embodied in concentrated form in Shusaku's go." - Segoe
Kensaku 9-dan "The speed and forcefulness of Shusaku's play with
black are like lightning striking the go board; his skill at finishing off
his opponent once he took the lead is unrivalled." - Hayashi Yutaka,
go historian

The Game of Go: The National Game of
Japan
por Arthur Smith
PDF
Publishing Platform
2014
“THE GAME OF GO” was one of the first books in English to

describe the national game of Japan: Go. As a practical guide,
anyone reading this book can learn to play the game of Go without
an instructor. It also contains an interesting history of the game, the
rules of play explained and illustrated, openings, games, ending and
problems.
Like chess, Go is a strategic board game and is considered by

many, to be superior.
The board is ruled like that for Go Bang, except that it has
nineteen instead of seventeen lines intersecting as many more at
right angles; it is said that if there were two more lines the possible
combinations of the game would transcend the powers of the human
mind.
The game consists in two players with black and white stones, or
counters, endeavoring to surround territory — and the opponent’s
men — by placing one man on the board at a time, which is not
moved unless captured. The stones are placed at the intersection of
lines and are surrounded (captured, killed) when each line from a
stone or group leads to a stone of the opposite color upon the next
“me;" hence it is often necessary to place some of one’s stones
within a hollow group in order to effect its capture.
Go is probably the oldest of all known games: some authorities

say that it was invented by a vassal of a Chinese emperor who
reigned from 1718 to 1767 B.C.: others to an emperor reigning from
2357 to 2256 B. C. A game easily recognized as Go is mentioned
casually in a Chinese work dated about a thousand years before
Christ. The game was introduced into Japan about the year 735
A.D., and for the two hundred years players have been classified
with titles.
The stones or “Ishi” correspond in number with the “Me” or points

of intersection—180 are white and 181 black; the weaker player
takes black and first move. In practice the entire number are never
used. The author has found that Casino chips are the best substitute
for the Japanese stones. The game comes to an end when the
frontiers of the opposing groups are in contact. There are but four
rules for the game.
A careful perusal of the book will incite a desire to add to one’s

pleasure, skill and resources this old game which is relatively new to
our world.

The Vital Points of Go
por Shukaku Takagawa
PDF
Nihon Ki-in
1972
This book was, I believe, the first non-introductory go book

published in English. It has five chapters: The Vital Points of Fuseki,
The Essentials of Attack and Defense, How to Diminish Large
Enemy Territories, The Analysis of the Relative Values of Plays, and
The Development of Intuition. It doesn't have much in the way of
general theory: rather, it's largely analysis of positions. The analysis
doesn't go into huge amounts of depth, so you don't feel as
swamped as you do when reading, say, Sakata's The Middle Game
of Go; instead, it covers more positions at a more reasonable depth.
I think that it was probably a good choice for the first non-
introductory go book to be published in English; I expect that you
could get a lot out of it by studying it over and over again. I would
think that it would initially be pretty mystifying to read if you don't
know much theory; fortunately, the second non-introductory book
published in English, Segoe's Go Proverbs Illustrated, redresses that
lack to some extent. Still, I'm glad that by the time I learned how to
play go there were more books out there; in particular, the more I
see books like this the more glad I am that the Elementary Go Series
exists. Given the books that are available today, there's not much
point in seeking out this book, but we should all be glad that it
existed. For some comments about this book from somebody who
read it when it first came out, see my entry for Takagawa's How to
Play Go. This book was bound with a flexicoil backbone, so it can lie
flat but it's vulnerable to losing pages. It's out of print; however, it
was reprinted in 1982 by Sabaki together with Takagawa's How to
Play Go in a single volume under the title Go!.

Enclosure Josekis This book is a practical guide to the art of

invading a corner position where the opponent has already made an
enclosure. It covers, in a dictionay format, the basic patterns that
come up repeatedly in one's games. The patterns are: the small
knight enclosure, the large knight enclosure, the one-space
enclosure (from the 3-4 point), the star point enclosure. There is also
a supplementary chapter on three other common formations
'Enclosure Josekis' teaches the invader how to live inside the
opponent's position by making light and flexible shape. It also shows
the defender the proper way to deal with an invasion so that he gets
adequate compensation even if the defender lives. This book will
sharpen up your middle game and make you a master of the
endgame.

Strategic Fundamentals in Go (Reseña)
por Guo Tisheng & Lu Wen
2008
Strategic Fundamentals in Go is the first book of its kind of offer a

Chinese perception on the fundamentals of strategy in go. The
author, Guo Tisheng (1907-1989), was a renown Chinese player and
the teacher of many famous players, including Nie WeiPing.
In this book, Guo talks about ten important lessons in go, namely,
sente vs. gote, big vs. small points, attack vs. defense, life vs. death,
big vs. small territories, saving vs. sacrificing stones, light vs. heavy
shapes, slack moves vs. urgent points, standard moves vs. flexible
variations, and persistence vs. playing safe.
These ten lessons cover the many conflicting situations that are
frequently encountered when playing go. Sente allows a player to
maintain the initiative, but it gives his opponent an opportunity to
counterattack; gote on the other hand, forsakes the initiative, but it
builds a solid foundation for future attacks. Light moves are flexible,
yet they sometimes form loose shapes; heavy moves are inflexible,
but they are solid. Thickness leads to profit, but there is a danger of
forming overdeveloped shapes; thinness is weak, but more flexible.
Making life is safe, yet one loses sente; leaving a precarious group
unattended is dangerous, but one gets sente. Thus, the key issues
of initiative, profit, safety, and the life and death of groups must all be
harmonized within one global, strategic framework. When separated
from this global framework, these issues lose their meaning, and the
game loses direction.
With the aid of many illustrations, this book helps the reader to
master these issues and become a stronger player.

Hashimoto Utaro (橋本宇太郎, Honinbo Shou, Hashimoto Utarō,

February 27, 1907 - July 24, 1994) was a Japanese professional 9-
dan. He was the founder and first director of the Kansai Ki-in, one of
the strongest players in the early days of tournament go, the third
player in modern go to reach 9-dan status, a player in the famous
Atomic Bomb Game, and a prolific tsumego composer. His
professional go career lasted 72-years. Hashimoto's teacher was
Kubomatsu Katsukiyo and followed by Segoe Kensaku. Hashimoto
was known for his longevity, with a professional career lasting 72-
years. He played in the final of the 1st Kisei title in 1977 (at the age
of 69); set a record by entering the 3rd Gosei league in 1978 (at the
age of 71); won the 24th Kansai Ki-in First Place Championship in
1980 (at the age of 73); and played against Cho Chikun in the 7th
Sanyo Exhibition Matches? in 1981. At the time of his death he set
the record for the oldest active player at the age of 87 (previously
held by Hayashi Yutaro). One of Hashimoto's most famous matches
was his come-from-behind victory over Sakata Eio in the 6th
Honinbo title match in 1951. It was a clash between factions -- the
newly formed Kansai Ki-in (with Hashimoto leading the charge) and
the already established Nihon Kiin (with Sakata challenging to regain
control of the title). By game five Sakata was leading 3-1. But his airy
thoughts about a soon-to-be victory revealed a psychological
weakness to his more seasoned opponent. Hashimoto changed his
style completely from his usual rapid development to a solid style
and in games five and six he mounted his comeback. Staying
composed Hashimoto refused to be drawn into the wild fights that
Sakata tried to start. By game seven Sakata crumbled as Hashimoto
triumphed, claiming the Honinbo title for the Kansai Ki-in. Had
Hashimoto lost, it might have caused the Kansai Ki-in to fade away
like so many splinter groups before it. Biographies commonly refer to
him as the most prolific tsumego composer ever. As quoted in Go
World Iss. 71 p. 6: It was his practice to compose a problem a day
every day (including the morning of his death), and his compositions
were published daily in the Osaka Yomiuri for 40 years. That's an
impressive achievement, considering that his problems were noted
for being original, not rehashes of classical problems.

2016
The game of Go has long been viewed as the most challenging of

classic games for artificial intelligence owing to its enormous search
space and the difficulty of evaluating board positions and moves.
Here we introduce a new approach to computer Go that uses ‘value
networks’ to evaluate board positions and ‘policy networks’ to select
moves. These deep neural networks are trained by a novel
combination of supervised learning from human expert games, and
reinforcement learning from games of self-play. Without any
lookahead search, the neural networks play Go at the level of state-
of-the-art Monte Carlo tree search programs that simulate thousands
of random games of self-play. We also introduce a new search
algorithm that combines Monte Carlo simulation with value and
policy networks. Using this search algorithm, our program AlphaGo
achieved a 99.8% winning rate against other Go programs, and
defeated the human European Go champion by 5 games to 0. This
is the first time that a computer program has defeated a human
professional player in the full-sized game of Go, a feat previously
thought to be at least a decade away.

Go experts regularly recommend the study of life and death

problems in order to foster true strength at the game. There are a
number of reasons for this. Training in reading is a primary reason.
Another is the value of learning to recognize vital points. How to
study shapes in Go is still one more lesson to be learned. All of
these things are important. But there is also an artistic element of life
and death problems that is to be appreciated. This book examines
life and death problems from a variety of perspectives, including the
artistic element. Among the 150 life and death problems contained in
this book, every theme of the subject is depicted. First, Maeda
Nobuaki, the 'God of Life and Death Problems' is featured, with 60
life and death problems presented. In addition, there is a
retrospective examination of his career and one of his teaching
essays. Next, Mimura Tomoyasu explains how to solve life and death
problems in a down-to-earth manner. Fifteen masterpieces of life and
death from the hand of the inimitable Fujisawa Shuko offer the
reader a true test of strength, and there are six of the late Hashimoto
Utaro's compositions; he is renowned as a master of life and death.
Then there are ten problems which professional players themselves
have selected as the best of all time. Tei Meiko takes the stage with
30 real game life and death problems, and Otake Hideo presents his
own evaluation of unique shapes. Finally, Shirae Haruhiko
challenges the reader to decide if a given position needs to have a
move added. This is book two of two in The Best of Kido series.

About Kido Magazine (1924-1999)
Upon the founding of the Nihon Ki-in (Japanese Go Association) in

1924, Kido magazine was founded in October of that year as its
flagstaff publication. It was written by and for professional and strong
amateur go players, with the emphasis on complex analysis and
innovative play. It continued in existence for 75 years, until the
summer of 1999. The quality of the articles in Kido was always
outstanding. This is not surprising since one of its founders and
guiding lights was the president of a newspaper. In addition,
newspaper writers formed the core of the staff and contributions
were received from the top literary figures of the day. One need only
mention the Nobel Prize winner Kawabata Yasunari, whose roman-
a-clef, “Meijin” (published in English as “The Master of Go”),
chronicles the retirement game of the last master of the last
remaining hereditary House of Go, the Honinbo. With such a
foundation, the writing in Kido was always cultured, often a cut
above standard newspaper fare. (Which says much for it, since the
newspapers in Japan are written at a very high level to cater for a
population in which 98% are literate.) There were always poetic and
classical allusions in the articles of Kido, making them a source of
fascination for the writing as well as the games. All of the technical
articles here have been translated from Kido, with the date of the
issue identified. It is a shame if some of the proud history of the
magazine fades away. Readers are encouraged to seek out
whatever copies of the magazine may be found and savor them for
themselves.

Nie Weiping On Go
por Nie WeiPing
PDF
2003
This book starts out with a 30-page biographical introduction, then

has chapters on The Opening, Positional Judgment, Timeliness in
Initiating Battles, Finesse and Trade-off Decisions, Forcing Moves,
Utilizing Thickness, Defense of Weak Stones, and Applications
Shown in Fully Annotated Games. I quite enjoyed reading the
biographical introduction, but it is written in stilted language that
sounds a lot like propaganda most of the time. As to the rest of the
contents, it's fascinating to see the way that Nie analyzes positions,
and the kinds of things that he thinks about before deciding where to
play. On the other hand, there's so much high-level analysis behind
his judgments that is often only hinted at in the book that most of the
time I have to take his word for it that it's better to play in one area of
the board instead of another area of the board. Still, even though this
book may be lacking in concrete specifics, it really gives you a lot to
think about; I think that it's well worth reading, and I expect that as I
get better I'll get more out of it.

The Thirty-Six Stratagems Applied to Go
por Ma Xiaochun
PDF
1996
The `Thirty-six Stratagems' in the title is a famous Chinese military

work; Ma takes the stratagems in it and applies them to go. It's a
nice book; the examples work pretty well, and what he says make
sense. The advice is about your thinking at a sufficiently high level
that this book isn't particularly suited to beginners; I'm a 2 kyu, it will
take me a few readings before it starts affecting my game at all.
The translation is nice. It's a bit heavy on the Japanese for my

taste, but since there's a good glossary at the back, I don't feel that
that really hurts it.

por Kano Yoshinori

PDF
Graded Go Problems for Beginners are ideal books for players

who have just learned the rules of go, bridging the gap between a
beginner's book and some of the more 'advanced' elementary book.
The almost 1500 problems these four volumes contain thoroughly
drill the reader in the fundamentals of the game. After finishing the
study of these four books, The novice go player will have mastered
the basics of the game. Volume Two is a continuation of the first
volume of Graded Go Problems for Beginners and is aimed at the
20-kyu to 25-kyu level player. The problems presented here will
require a bit of thought, but none of them is so difficult that a player
who understands the rules and has studied the first volume won’t be
able to solve in less than a minute. The aim of this series is to
present as many examples of go technique as possible. The reader
should attempt to refute the correct answers until he knows beyond a
doubt that the correct answer works. By pondering each problem in
this way, the reader will develop an instinct for finding the winning
move in his games.

to describe various basic combinations of stones and their
implications but also covers more intricate moves that are close to
tesuji. In this book Yoon Youngsun 8p uses 36 positions from pro

The Dang Hu Games
por Jim Z. Yu
PDF
Nikkai
The games were played in the year 1739, when my great great
great grandfather was openning a small tea shop somewhere in
Southern China. The two players, Fan and Shi, were among the
most famous ones in Chinese Go history. Their fighting strength are
said to be stronger than some pro 9 dans of today, and they were
called, fittingly, "great national hands" (ever heard of an artistic term
for "playing go" -- "hand talk"?). Both players were born at a same
county, which was exactly the same place where these game were
played. The county was called "Ping Hu", also known as "Dang Hu",
and these games were concequently called "Dang Hu Games" or
“Tanghu Games”. In this year, 1739, Fan was 31 years old, and Shi
30. Both were at their prime time. These games showed their
extraordinary skills and imagination; these games were not only the
Go Bible of those days, but even today, they are regarded as the
best classic work of Go in China.

The games presented in Modern Master Games, Volume One

were played in turbulent times. When the first Honinbo tournament
was established, the war had not yet seriously affected the Japanese
go world or the daily life of the average Japanese. But by the time of
the third Honinbo tournament, Japanese society was in chaos; the
atomic bomb was dropped just 10 kilometers from where the second
game of the title match was being played. After the war, life was
slowly returning to normal. By the 1950s, the go world was again
abuzz. Rivalries were flourishing, and newspapers were establishing
new tournaments with abundant prize money. As the post-war go
world was reorganizing itself, the matches played were of much
consequence — it became more than just winning a title. The results
were to determine the organizations that governed the game in
Japan until today. The pressures on the players were intense, and it
exposed their psychological strengths as well as fragilities.
Takagawa’s games in this book show how dangerous it is to
underestimate an opponent. It was almost unbelievable to some that
the mild-mannered Takagawa, whose quiet and laid-back style,
never attacking too strongly, and lacking the brilliance of a player like
Sakata, could hold the Honinbo title against all comers for nearly 10
years.
Making Good Shape
Mastering the Basics [3]
por Rob van Zeijst & Richard Bozulich

Weiqi
PDF
2017
Good shape is a subject that has received scant attention in

Japanese go literature. Although references to shape are made in
most books, there is no one book devoted exclusively to this subject.
However, understanding and recognizing good shape is important for
becoming a strong player and developing intuition that will instantly
guide you to find the strongest moves in the opening and the middle-
game fighting. Shapes are the building blocks of your groups. They
determine whether your stones are working together efficiently or are
sitting in each other’s way. Good shape is a source of strength to
build on, while bad shape often comes back to haunt you. There are
two aspects of shape. One is to make good shape for your own
stones; the other is to spoil the shape of your opponent’s stones.
However, good shape is more than a static form; it is dynamic in the
way it builds eye shape and stays ahead of the opponent in running
battles while building up more eye shape. This book provides an
extensive theoretical introduction to shape, beginning with the
efficient placement of stones. It illustrates various techniques for
making good shape and gives its readers practical experience by
presenting 245 problems so that they can hone their skills to find the
shape move in their games.

Consecutive Title Myth: a discussion
forum by Chinese Go fans
por Yonghe Zhang
PDF
From the forties of last century, Honinbo raised the curtain on the
modern Go. Whenever you win a champion, next time you don't
need to fight from the bottom, you only need to calmly wait for one
challenger. This makes consecutive domination possible. However,
there are still very few who can achieve 5 consecutive titles. Among
so many go players and tournaments, it is not exaggerating to say
that the players who can dominate one champion for a very long
time are myth. Who can create the myth of consecutive titles?

The professional go world is suddenly being overwhelmed by teenage and twenty

something Chinese players who are winning both international and Chinese national titles
—virtually all current world title holders are Chinese, and several of them were born in
the 1990s. Most of these players are not yet well known in the west, which is what
prompts Slate & Shell to bring out a collection of the games of some of these impressive
young go masters. This book has four fully commented games involving eight of them, and
we plan to publish more soon. Their style tends to be more territorial than you might
expect, but, as Yuan Zhou makes clear, they find amazing moves.
