[ext] David Carlton's review


Blurb for Volume 1:
"Think globally, act locally" is useful advice, but how do you do that in Go? Yilun Yang, a master of Go with an innovative approach to teaching Western students, shows you exactly what this means for understanding 3-4 point joseki. Using over 100 elegant examples, you learn how to use a whole board perspective to do the right thing locally. This first volume focuses on joseki involving a low, third line, approach to a 3-4 point stone.

Blurb for Volume 2:
With tens of thousands of patterns to choose from, the study of joseki might seem daunting, but not after reading this book! Mr. Yang's simple but powerful principles for globally consistent opening play will free you from rote memorization. This second volume on joseki focuses on high and far approachs to a 3-4 point stone. Don't miss your chance to leap ahead instead of struggling to keep up.
