Cosmic Go: A Guide to Four Stone Handicap Games, Sangit Chatterjee and Yang Huiren

In a four-stone handicap game, when White approaches the corner star-point stone, Black’s severest move is often a pincer. However, this leaves Black open to another approach move and kyu players often feel insecure about letting White get two moves in the corner. Cosmic Go shows you how to answer double-approach moves by playing on a grand scale and building thick positions facing the wide-open space in the center. Four joseki chapters are filled with more than 100 full-board problems which illustrate how to apply the many new josekis you will learn.

Comments & Reviews

I have a really squirrely style of play, so it was nice to read through this influence orientated book. The diagrams aren’t presented very well, in particular the problem sections require a friend to set up the position for you. However the material is excellent, I learnt several new joseki from this. This is not really a book on handicap go, it’s a book on playing for influence.
