Jungsuk In Our Time
    Keywords: Joseki, Books & Publications

Published in 2001 by the Hankuk Kiwon. English translation of a book by Seo Bong-soo (Seo Pong-su) and Jung Dong-sik (Cheong Tong-sik). It covers contemporary 3-4 corner openings (jungsuk) from the Korean point of view.

The book is nearly unique among joseki books. All diagrams are full board diagrams. The diagrams come in sets. A set consists of a primary position, a position that results from the joseki under consideration, and a number of secondary positions, positions that result from continued play using a full board perspective. These secondary positions start with a tenuki away from the corner containing the joseki under consideration (after all, at the end of the joseki both sides are stable). The secondary positions explore a variety of continuations, discussing the advantages and disadvantages for each player.

The only other joseki books to provide whole board positions are the two volumes of Whole Board Thinking in Joseki by Yang Yilun.

Velobici: such are my impressions from seeing the book at Go club last night. If you have the book or are more familiar with it, please correct the above comments.
