Handicap Go
Quatrième volume de la série de manuels due à la Nihon Ki-in, consacré comme son titre l'indique sans équivoque au jeu à handicap. Fidèle à la vocation encyclopédique de la série, il présente pour chaque cas de figure (de 9 à 3 pierres) les manoeuvres d'ouverture typiques, en utilisant une présentation simple et très claire : deux grands diagrammes par page, accompagnés de courts commentaires.
Dickfeld - How strong is your go? Check your ranking in the game of go
This book is both test and training. It will not only help you to assess your skill level, but also to identify your strengths and weaknesses in the game of Go. In a total of eight chapters, you are asked to solve the exercises within a given time limit. With the help of the evaluation tables you will be able to determine where you are roughly located within the kyu and dan ranks. In addition to the classification into the rank ranges, your results will reflect in which areas you are particularly strong and where may still be room for improvement. 116 pages
A Dictionary of Modern Fuseki : the Korean Style
Dictionnaire de fuseki, re. Mais autant le Rin Kaiho dépasse de beaucoup ce simple programme, autant celui-ci - dont le titre est une double pétition de principe, puisque l'ouvrage date de 2000 (d'où le moderne) et est d'origine coréenne (d'où le style) - s'y cantonne sans fioritures inutiles. On retrouve donc une approche classique : 59 schémas de base (appartenant essentiellement aux ouvertures linéaires et à la famille des ouvertures chinoises) représentés chacun par quelques variantes présentées sur une trentaine de coups et accompagnées d'un court commentaire. Solide, lisible et récent, un bon complément au petit dictionnaire de la Nihon Ki-in.
Genbi - Gokyo Shumyo - Collection of classic Tesuji Problems
Goky Shumy is one of the most famous collections of go problems, containing 520 classic tesuji problems compiled and published by Hayashi Genbi in 1812. Its contents are divided into the categories of making life, capturing, ko, capturing races, connecting, oi-otoshi, cutting, and ladders.This English edition of Goky Shumy is the first of its kind. Until now, Western go players have had to rely on Asian editions of the book to peruse its contents. Besides adding English annotations for problemsolutions, this edition fixes dozens of mistakes in the source material and grades problems by their difficulty. The editor Antti Törmänen is himself a professional player with the Japan Go Federation.The problems in this book come from a wide range of difficulties, from 9-kyu all the way to professional level. The core audience of the book is dan players and players soon aiming to enter the dan ranks, but readers of almost all levels will find suitably challenging content in it. 312 p.

Toramaru - Joseki Revolution
In Joseki Revolution, Shibano focuses on local exchanges, in contrast to the predominantly whole-board focus on fuseki strategy of his previous book, Fuseki Revolution. Even so, Shibano's analysis always maintains a global view, as the basic nature of go is such that without whole-board judgement, there is no local judgement. Even when you are evaluating a joseki in a corner, a whole-board viewpoint is always essential.
Of particular interest in Joseki Revolution is his treatment of the taisha, the avalanche, and the magic-sword josekis. Shibano shows how, thanks to AI, these extremely complicated josekis have been "swamped in a wave of simplification."
In Chapter 3 Shibano discusses the merits and demerits of the four corner enclosures based on the 3-4 point. He investigates the reason why the small-knight enclosure has declined in popularity and why the previously shunned two-space enclosure has become so popular.
The book consists of 35 themes divided into four chapters as follows:
Chapter 1. Changes in basic josekis
Chapter 2. The transformation in opening strategies
Chapter 3. Up-to-date information about corner structures
Chapter 4. Looking at the most up-to-date josekis
In an appendix, Shibano examines some unconventional moyo-oriented fuseki strategies and gives some advice on how to handle these large-scale moyos. The appendix also contains a section on the revival of the high Chinese Opening and explains why this opening strategy is strategically sound.
