The Theory & Practice of GO

by Oscar Korschelt

Called "an essential book for any collection" by Library Journal, the Theory and Practice of Go is a fundamental primer to this fascinating game of strategy and skill, in which two players use their stones to enclose the larger area of the board. Starting with a basic outline of the rules along with insight into more advanced play, readers get an in-depth lesson in the ancient game of Go, augmented with clear, instructive illustrations and diagrams. This reformatted paperback edition of a Tuttle classic is ideal for players both new to the game and experts who want to further hone their skills.

This book is translated from German, it is rather cumbersome to read. If you plan on including one classic in your library about GO, I would recommend Smith's book over this one.

This book helped me develop my go game by recreating the games on my go board. This book is absolutely amazing and if you want to improve your game you must read this book. After reading this book both my KGS accounts ranking went up by 9k and 10k.
