Velobici: One question: what is the difference between 布局 and 抢所 ... both are being translated as fuseki.

In place of 大场的抢所, my copy has 大场的抢占....different printing? In the back mine seems to indicate March 2001 (twice) but I didn't look up the characters. And to top it off, I can't find 场 in my dictionary ;(

unkx80: A lot of information can often be found by Googling the Chinese titles, although the search results are in Chinese too.

To answer your question, I did not translate 大场的抢所 word for word. Roughly, 大 = big/large, 场 = place/location, 枪 = grab/snatch, 占 = occupy, 所 = place/house. So the translation for 大场的抢所/占 is roughly occupying/snatching of big points, but the context of 大场 is almost always fuseki.
