Reading
    Keywords: Go term

Reading (Japanese: yomi) is the mental process of calculating lines of play (also known as variations and branches). Some people experience difficulty reading, but it is a necessary skill to develop in order to improve.

Reading is the muscle of Go (mitdahand of KGS).

One way to develop reading skills is to set up a situation on a goban or one of the Go Editing Programs such as CGoban2 that supports variations. Work out as many variations as you like. Restore the situation and then read out the variations in your mind. This is a good way to teach yourself go.
