Get Strong at the Opening

Get Strong at Go #1

by Richard Bozulich

175 problems in the opening (fuseki) ranging in difficulty from easy to difficult. This book is an ideal introduction to the field of fuseki and should be studied by every beginning player. The problems begin with an analysis of the Chinese, niren-sei, sanren-sei, Shusaku, and tatsuki (diagonal) fusekis as well as other important opening strategies. The remainder of the problems are designed to hammer home to the reader the basic principles of the fuseki.

Se trata de un libro de problemas de apertura (175 en total), con situaciones a resolver que son bastante variadas, y con explicaciones detalladas en los apartados correspondientes a las respuestas. Es muy útil, pero se echa en falta una introducción teórica. No es indispensable si ya se ha leído "In The Beginning: The Opening in The Game of Go", pero siempre se agradecen unas pinceladas iniciales que sirvan como orientación de cara a afrontar los problemas.

I read it three times working on getting a feel for what is a big move in the opening. The exercises were pretty clear. The format works for me.
