How And What To Study
Difficulty: Beginner
How and what to study?There is plenty of good go material out there (including Sensei's Library ;-), so how do you determine what books, websites, professional games, ... are suited for your level and what kind of study habits are most effective? A proposal for a path to follow by aspiring insei has been started at TeachingPaths. If you're looking for a guide to self-study, you want to read the Beginner Study Section. Here are some links to individual homepages; these links will point you to the advice of some very strong players.: David MechnerDavid is an American 6 dan who studied for a year and a half as an insei (professional in training) in Japan. So he must have done some things right in his go study, as he points out himself :-) Robert JasiekRobert is a German 5 dan and an expert on rules and rulesets. Sorin GhermanSorin is a Romanian 6 dan who also studied as an insei. His pages describe how insei train and contains some advice on what to do and not to do to get stronger.
