The Chinese Opening

    Keywords: Opening, Books & Publications

Somewhat outdated treatment of the Chinese fuseki by Kato Masao. Translation of 1977 Japanese book. Originally published by Ishi Press and reprinted by Kiseido, ISBN 4-906574-33-5.


David Carlton's [ext] review is neutral; admitting he does not play the Chinese fuseki.


kokiri: I'm not much of a fan of the Chinese opening, really just because it's so popular, and I have a bit of a contrarian streak to me. I'd go so far as to say that I'm not sure I've ever played it myself. However, I'm about 2/3 of the way through this and I have to say I'm finding it really enjoyable. It's a very readable translation and it goes through a lot of short examples that are good, or bad, for both players with clear explanations that are pitched at about the right level for me (2k UK, 4k IGS).
