The Breakthrough to Shodan, Naoki Miyamoto & James Davies (translator)

In this unique treatment of low-handicap go, a 9-dan professional sets out to change your whole approach to the game. Step by step, he shows you how to take the initiative, how to attack, how to handle the corners, and how to keep the game simple, all the while relentlessly hammering away at the negative mentality that keeps players from advancing. Absorb what he has to say, and the opponents that you once feared may soon have to fear you.

Comments & Reviews

I just got this book after more then six months of searching, and I can’t really say it was worth the wait—I should have plunked down the $75 and bought a copy from ABE 5 months ago.

This book shows you how to make the moves you’ve always wanted to make. Moves that reinforce your positions, but aren’t inefficient. I’m only about 50 pages in, and I haven’t played enough to test out what I’m learning, but I’m gaining confidence quickly, and making shodan in six months or so seems do-able in a way it never had before.
