Whole Board Living Tesujis

Whether it is the whole board or just the corner or the sides, tesujis - those exquisite moves that bring harmony to the whole are explored through one hundred and fifty problems and sub-problems. Here you learn about shapes and sacrifice. See how both professionals and amateurs use them and sometimes fail to do so. Hametes (trick plays) and their refutation will add extra spice to your games. Many new josekis, including the rarely analyzed five-five point josekis, are developed here for the first time in a book. All Go players, whether their strength is seven-kyu or five-dan, will have plenty to learn and think about when solving these problems. Along with incresing the reader's appreciation for the finer aesthetics of the game, this book also will develop a sense of rhythm and intuition for the game that will stay with you for the rest of your Go playing career.
