Several years ago my wife (then girlfriend) lent me this book, and I devoured it in one sitting. The book analyzes two of Lee Chang Ho's games in great detail. The writing style is entertaining and clear. I was left wanting to try to play like Lee Chang Ho... (really, who wouldn't?) When I take black tend to focus on a specific opening for months (sometimes years) at a time, but this book has become my inspiration for how to play as white when my opponent can easily choose an opening I am less familiar with.

For a more full review, refer to my review of Master Play: The Style of Go Seigen. As both books are very similar to each other, but still offer a lot of insight for the students of Go.

A detailed review of 2 games by Lee. Quite enlightening, although I'd love to see a similar book with more reviews.

This slim volume contains two nicely and thoroughly commented games. But how many times can you say "best player in the world"?
