Get Strong at Invading
    Keywords: MiddleGame, Books & Publications

"Get Strong at Invading" is volume 5 in the "Get Strong at... Series" by Richard Bozulich published by Kiseido.

The book contains 171 problems assigned to three parts: Invasions on the Side; Invading Corner Enclosures; and Invading Large Territories. The problems are framed by one side of the board in the first two parts and the entire board in the last part. You have to take into account the positions of stones not directly involved in the local fighting.

Problems build on each other in a logical progression. The solution to the first problem on the first page (Black to play) shows one variation for both players. The first problem on the second page requires Black to respond to a different move by White. Over the course of 8 problems the sequences that begin with Black playing on the third line in the center between two White stones three lines apart on the third line are explored in detail. This is the format for problems in the first two sections of the book. Problems in the third section are all stand-alone problems.

Problems in the first two sections are supposed to accessible to 20-kyu players. The last section contains more difficult problems. At 13-kyu on KGS, I find the problems difficult, so the ratings stated in the preface may be incorrect.

The answer to problem 107 is discussed at 4464 enclosure 33 invasion.

Here is [ext] David Carlton's review of the book.
