Summary
[edit]
Authors
The series is written by Lee Jae-Hwan?, supervised by Yoo Chang-Hyuk 9-dan, and translated into English by Lee Seong-Geun? and Daniela Trinks. The author and translators are graduates of the Department of Baduk Studies at Myongji University. They are published by Baduktopia. This series is followed by the sequel Jump Level Up! which continues in taking the player from 10kyu to 1kyu.

Organisation
The books begin with go fundamentals and help the learner grow into more advanced concepts as the volumes continue. Each volume is 168 pages long, and follows the same format. After a short glossary of go terminology (mostly English or Korean, with a occasional Japanese alternatives) appropriate for the volume, a brief episode of a serial manga introduces the volume, generally about eight pages long. The books continue with 20 lessons, each of which briefly introduces a new or review concept, and then drills the concept with 24-36 problems. Interspersed among the lessons are two or three short articles on go culture, especially in South Korea, and a number of “opening samples,” game records containing only the first 20-35 moves of a game. The book concludes with three 20-problem tests to help the student assess her mastery of the concepts contained in that volume.
The lessons and other sections are classified according to their educational effect in the following areas: Spatial Sense, Memory, Thinking Power, Judgement Ability, Mathematical Ability, General Knowledge, Strategy, General Thinking, Baduk Legend.
While the volumes emphasize capturing problems, tesuji, and life and death situations, a strong attempt is made to include good haengma, opening, endgame, and even basic strategy. Basic joseki, beginning with the starpoint, are introduced in volume 8, with emphasis given to the purpose for each move, or at least the haengma used for each. Review volumes are additionally available for use after every fifth study volume; these use the same structure as the regular books, less the manga episode.
The answer keys for the problems are not part of the books themselves, but are instead made available as PDF files on the publisher’s website. Unfortunately, they are plagued by frequent proofreading errors, showing a different problem in the answer key than the one given in the book itself. This, coupled with many grammatical errors in the English translation makes the books occasionally burdensome, but these problems never preclude the books’ clarity.
[edit]
Availability
Ten volumes, along with two review volumes, and one answer book are currently available in English, as of November 2012. Slate and Shell is no longer selling them, but they are available from Yellow Mountain Imports.
