Reviews

See [ext] David Carlton's review.

Tamsin: I've owned a copy for the last two years, but have never been able to get into it...until now. Now I am absolutely enthralled by the way Go Seigen unfolds the mysteries of go strategy, explaining and illustrating how different lines of play affect the whole-board situation. I think it will take many readings for me to extract real benefit from it, but that is probably the rub with any profound wisdom -- understanding it requires effort.
