Comments & Reviews

I saw this at the Go Congress in NC. The first page of problems looked fun, and it was inexpensive, so I bought it. It’s now my favorite go book. I’m sure “Invincible” and “Lessons in the Fundamentals” will be back when the infatuation wears off, but this slim volume will always be in the top 20, maybe the top 10.

The right page has the problems; flip the page to see the answers. The problems are challenging (even for an amateur 4-dan I hung out with at the Congress); and once you find the answer, they are like deliciously wicked puns. They seem to be organized somewhat—problems that use a similar technique seem to be grouped together (at least in the portion of the book I’ve gotten through).
