Get strong at Invading, Richard Bozulich

Invading is an important technique that every go player should have in his arsenal, and here is a book that will raise your invading ability to expert strength.

The material is presented in a problem format Each problem is part of a series of problems in which various lines are explored. Short sequences of moves allow the reader to concentrate on one particular aspects of a prob¬lem without becoming confused through the analysis of long and compli¬cated variations. This book is divided into three parts. Part One systemati¬cally deals with the standard invasions on the side of the board, Part Two with invading the comers and attacking comer enclosures, and Part Three with erasing large territorial frameworks.

This is a book for players of all strengths. If you are a weak kyu-player, it is guaranteed to increase your invading ability by as much as six stones. If you already are a strong dan player, it will fill in the gaps that may exist in your invasion technique. For sure, this is a book that no serious go player can do without.

Comments & Reviews

Is exactly what the title says – collection of invading techniques. That makes it quite boring to read but quite useful just to skim through when you’re not sure about something. I think for a beginner it’s not fundamental to know the techniques, especially when there is hardly the same situation in games.

When I picked this up, I was about 15k, and had a horrible time with moyo strategist mapping out bigger territories, and keeping it until the end. by the end of the 2nd reading, I was solidly 13k and much more comfortable with invasions.
