How to Play Handicap Go, Yuan ZhouThis book is a companion volume to Zhou’s highly popular earlier work, Understanding How to Play Go, in which he provides detailed commentaries on some of his even games. This time he discusses eight of his handicap games, ranging from two to seven stones. Zhou, an AGA 7 dan, includes general strategic guidelines for both White and Black in playing handicap go, as well as step by step analysis of what is happening in the games. As in the earlier work, a typical game diagram has only three or four new moves, making it easy to follow the games without setting up a board. Comments & Reviewssuperb book with very detailed comments - Written by snorri
![]() This is the only book I know of that goes into the details of high-level amateur handicap Go. The games are real AGA tournament games, not artificial games created by pros for entertainment, so the mistakes are real amateur dan-level mistakes. This is also the only book I know of that really goes into how white can think about the game.
