2.0 out of 5 stars Hardgoing, 8 Dec 2006
By Bobby Fischer (Hampshire, England) - See all my reviews
To correct a previous reviewer, Emanuel Lasker was World Chess Champion NOT Edward Lasker, a completely different person! However the book is hard going and not in my view suitable as an introduction to GO.

2.0 out of 5 stars Examples difficult to follow, dry reading, 4 Dec 1998
By A Customer
As a beginner just learning the game, this is not the way to go (sorry). Lasker was world chess champion for 27 years, losing it in 1921. This book is written from that rarified perspective.He will jump into a complex series of moves for a couple of pages, totally losing the reader on the logic and reasons for the progression, and then after another page say the explanation is probably not appropriate for beginners and/or there are many exceptions to what he just wrote. The diagrams are generally hard to follow, and aren't particularly clarified by the accompanying text. There is one complete game recorded move by move between masters Karigane and Honinbo played in 1926 which is instructive. But if this is the first book on go one is exposed to, it might do more to discourage than to help one experience the enjoyment the game can provide.
