taiji's books
PageType: HomePage     Keywords: Books & Publications

Hello. I play as taiji 1 dan on the Kiseido Go Server. I'm writing a series of Go books. These books are growing out of a series of children's classes and are loosely designed as textbooks in that regard. However, you can also use them for self-study.

The 30k-20k Study Book

The first book is almost done, and should serve you well throughout your first three to six months of play.

The book is available for download in eBook form (PDF) on the KGS Beginner's room homepage at: [ext] http://holosys.co.uk/beginnersroom/

Click on "Game Files" and my book is listed as the "30k-20k Study Book". See below for mirrors.

About the book:

  • The latest version is 0.5.2 available as taiji4z.pdf or taiji4z.zip. Previous versions did not have embedded fonts.
  • If you notice that the book could be better, let me know how, and I will try to make it better.
  • The first book (30k-20k) will always be free in eBook form, to promote the spread of Go and teach Go.

List of Mirrors:

About these mirrors:

  • If a link is broken, leave a message here please so I can remove the link or find another host.
  • If anyone else wants to host the book, add your link /under/ the list of links above. Therefore the list is self-sorting oldest links first.

EwoutStam: Wouldn't it be more practical if the book was available at a more "printable" size (A4/letter size), so I don't have to face the dilemma of either printing a huge pile of pages with lots of white or watch it on my screen?


pwaldron: The discussion of the AGA komi in the rules section of the book is incorrect, although not terribly. Komi must be an odd number (5.5 or 7.5) to keep the scores derived from area and territory counting methods the same. The 6.5 point komi used in Japan can cause problems under the AGA rules.
