Reflections on the Game of Go

A collection of philosophical essays on the game of Go by William S. Cobb, published by Slate and Shell publishers. Most were originally published as the column The Empty Board in the American Go Journal.

From the publisher’s page: “Most of the essays focus on ways in which go can be related to Buddhist views of the search for enlightenment, a connection that has been recognized for over a thousand years in Buddhist countries, but little explored in English language literature. Cobb also considers the relationship of go to such things as football and demons.”
