Masterpieces of Handicap Go, Volume 1, Second Edition,

Masterpieces of Handicap Go is based on a popular series of articles published in the American Go Journal between 1987 and 1996. This first volume contains twenty games from the journal that were translated by Robert McGuigan. Most of these games are between an established professional and a young player who was destined to become famous, such as Cho Chikun or Kato Masao. The original articles have been corrected and the number of game diagrams significantly increased so that there are fewer moves per diagram. The commentary is quite thorough and contains unusually helpful advice for playing both the black and the white stones in handicap games. The first volume, released earlier but no longer available, has been revised in a second edition.

Comments & Reviews

Off line most of our games are handicap games. This book gives detailed commentaries about real handicap games, not staged ones, so mistakes happen similar to ones we all make. It’s also interesting to see how famous pros played when they were not yet pros.
