In the British Go Journals 102 through 107, Richard Hunter wrote a magnificent series on counting liberties, which also appears in the Kiseido edition of Richard Bozulich's Second book of Go. A table, resulting from this series is to be found --Dieter
The British Go Journal articles formed the basis of the book Counting Liberties and Winning Capturing Races by Moved from EZ-GO (MK): DieterVerhofstadt: Robert, I know you think poorly of most English publications in terms of their topic coverage. Do the essays of RichardHunter on CountingLiberties and capturing races get a higher rating ? In any case, they are a rare example of theory then examples and very straight forward and to the point. Is this the style of writing on go theory that you have in mind ?
RobertJasiek: I have not read the BGJ articles nor seen the new Slate and Shell book yet. I see only the I do not give higher ratings just because theory and examples are given in a book; it also depends on how well the theory is treated and presented. Anyway; I have to see his book before I could actually rate it. I do not say that there would be only one good style of writing. Instead I say that so far too few books use some good style at all. I think poorly of most English books' topical coverage, yes. However, on average Asian books are worse:) Path: GiveMeLiberties · Prev: GoResearchOnSemeai · Next: RichardHunter This is a copy of the living page "Counting Liberties" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
