Enclosure Josekis, Masaki Takemiya

This book is a practical guide to the art of invading a corner position where the opponent has already made an enclosure. It covers, in a dictionary format, the basic patterns that come up repeatedly in one’s games. These patterns are:

• The small knight enclosures
• The large knight enclosures
• The one-space enclosures (from the 3-4 point)
• The star-point enclosures

There is also a supplementary chapter on three other common formations.

Enclosure Josekis teaches the reader how to invade the opponent’s position by making light and flexible shape. It also shows the defender the proper way to deal with an invasion so that he gets adequate compensation even if the invader lives.

This book will sharpen up your middle game and make you a master of the art of invading.

Comments & Reviews

Takemiya Masaki, the master of moyo, has written a joseki dictionary that reveals how one can most effectively invade, and defend, an enclosed corner.

Equally comparable to Yoshio Ishida’s joseki dictionary in clarity and depth, this specialized book is an excellent supplemental study tool for improving invasion skills. Positions are easy to look-up and Masaki explains the strengths of each move and how to deal with variations.
