Improve Your IntuitionVolume 3: Intuition in the Middle Game Part 2: How to Reduce a Moyoby Takagawa Kaku, Honorary Honinbo From the Cover: "This book is based on a series of articles Takagawa wrote for Go Review, an English language journal published by the Nihon Kiin from 1961 through 1977 that was the primary source of information about Go in English during that periode. These articles aim at providing an understanding of the basic principles of good play and will be useful even to beginners." The book has 44 pages and deals mainly about different kinds of moyos and how to reduce them efficiently. It talks about moyos around different corner enclosures and Hoshi - formations (i.e. Hoshi with knight's move extension). The book also explains various attachments on corner enclosures and how and when to use them. I found this book quite hard but it helped me (especially the descriptions of those funny looking shimari attachments that I never really understood). The book is probably suited best for the 10k-5k range. I wouldn't recommend to read it before 10k. -- LordOfPi This is a copy of the living page "Improve Your Intuition, vol. 3 part 2" at Sensei's Library.
