Cosmic Go

by Masaki Takemiya

Takemiya Masaki's 'Cosmic Go' is undoubtedly the best go book I have ever read. I constantly come back to this book, and with each reading I become more convinced of the need to make it available in other languages than Japanese. Indeed, this book gives me a joy I would like to share with as many go players as possible. I am sure it will help you discover not only a new approach to the game, but also a new universe of one of philosophy and poetry. Miyakawa Wataru

Best go book I've ever read, period.
This isn't just a guide to cosmic style, but a guide to go. A guide to how to play beautifully, to how to play your best, and - most importantly - find a joy in it. All together with the unparalleled wit of Takemiya-sensei.
Even if you are not a fan of cosmic style, or even a strictly territorial player, this might just bring your game to a different level - or simply help you look at it with different eyes. Highly recommend.

Un libro de estrategia para el Go que, además de ser didáctico, resulta emotivo, hermoso y filosófico. El autor habla de su estilo tan peculiar y conocido (el estilo cósmico), aporta una serie de líneas estratégicas para implementarlo y habla también de cuestiones más elevadas como su concepción global del juego, la relación personal que recomienda tener con él, la actitud correcta ante las decisiones durante las partidas... Es un libro muy instructivo que, además, invita a la reflexión.
