Attack and Defense - the book
    Keywords: MiddleGame, Tactics, Strategy, Books & Publications

The fifth volume in the Elementary Go Series, Attack and Defense is written by Ishida Akira and James Davies. It was originally published by Ishi Press, and has since been republished by Kiseido.

See also [ext] David Carlton's review.


(I'll write a review later when I've finished this one, but I like this book a lot so far. In the mean time, feel free to add your own!)

Here's the table of contents:

  1. Territory and Power
  2. Attacking Strategy
  3. Attacking Moves
  4. Defense
  5. Forcing Moves
  6. Inducing Moves
  7. Reducing and Invading Large Frameworks
  8. Invasions into Three-Space Extensions
  9. Ko Fights
  10. Problems

There's also a section titled Guide to Further Study at the end but that's not really a chapter, more an advertisement for Kiseido books :-) Anyway, the books recommended are Lessons in the Fundamentals of Go, Tesuji, Strategic Concepts of Go, Get Strong at Invading and Reducing Territorial Frameworks. The first two books are described as being easier or (in the case of Tesuji) a prerequisite to Attack and Defense, while the last two are said to describe the same material (isn't that a paradox?) with the last book being harder.
