Weiqi Chuji Jieti Xunlian
Weiqi Chuji Jieti Xunlian (Wei2 qi2 Chu1 ji2 Jie3 ti2 Xun4 lian4) (围棋初级解题训练) (Go Beginner Problem Solving Training) is a set of three Chinese language go books.
TODO: Fill in the descriptions of the books. I don't own any of these books. --unkx80
The books contain only Chinese, no other language whatsoever. However, learning only three Chinese ideograms (?) allows one to read the first part of the heading for each problem: Black first, or White first.
- Volume 1: ISBN: 7-5009-2189-6 consists of 100 problems.
- Volume 2: ISBN: 7-5009-2190-X consists of 100 problems.
- Volume 3: ISBN: 7-5009-2191-8 consists of 50 fuseki problems in which one must choose one of the three moves shown in the problem diagram. There are two answer diagrams per problem: the correct answer, and an incorrect answer. Presumeably, the third possible move is so bad as to not merit discussion.
These books should properly be called booklets. The paper is a bit thin, but the contents are solid. Having gone through these three, I think they help give the weaker player a feeling of solidity in play. You also get a sense of direction of play most weak kyus either don't have or don't understand well.
Caveat: My limited chinese ability, however, allowed me to read the reasoning behind the proper moves and bad alternatives. If you don't have this advantage, I would recommend a strong player go through it with you; you can just annotate his comments :) --wetnose
These books can be found occasionally on eBay being offered by goplayer2006
