4.0 out of 5 stars A good book if you want to get good at go, 2 Jul 2006
By Owen Jones (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
There are many books which offer a basic introduction to go, getting the reader to the level where they can play sensible games and have some idea what is going on. This book goes a lot further than that. In each area it explains some of the slightly more advanced concepts. I really liked its structured layout and there is plenty here to justify rereading. There are problems at the end of each chapter (with solutions) which help you see if you've understood. The author has avoided all but a few japanese terms which really helps make it easily understandable.

For the reader that knows they want to dedicate a certain amount of effort, this is a great book. Also it suits the reader that already has some grasp of the rules and how to play but wants to go further. If you have no experience of go then I would say only get this book if you are willing to put a certain amount of effort in. There are much easier books which will get you to a level where you can play games.

4.0 out of 5 stars Play away from thickness, 7 Mar 2009
This book is well set out and easy to follow. With problems at the end of each chapter that help cement the learning which has taken place over the chapter. Also the chapters that went through teaching games were very insightful. As a beginner I found it very useful as it covers the basics but goes beyond them giving you the scope to continue to strengthen your game.
