Books

2005-1-23: I just bought and finished reading Otake Hideo's, 'Opening Theory Made Easy'. This is a great book, it gave me some insight as to how I might make use of my stones better in fuseki. I'm experimenting with some of the new ideas and will likely be reading this again soon!

I'm adding a list of books in my collection, I've read almost all of these and continue to learn new things everytime I read them. Considering the wealth of information in these books and my mid-kyu strength, I've probably got enough material to study and improve my strength for many years to come.
