Positional Judgment

This book shows you how to use your intuition to make accurate large-scale judgments at a glance. It illuminates a long neglected but essential part of go: estimation of the territorial prospects of each player at key stages throughout the game. When you can assess accurately the balance of territories and calculate whether you are ahead or behind. You can then make important strategic decisions - should you attack aggressively or defend, and try to wind up the game quickly? -- from the publisher

Comments & Reviews

This book is invaluable in my opinion, and the only English language book I have seen that really tackles the question of how to properly estimate the score. "Attack and Defense" and other such books will give you the details/tactics, this book will give you the BIG IDEAS/strategy/tools to know -which- tactics to apply and when.
