It contains 300 joseki\u003cbr\u003e problems that will test and expand your understanding of josekis and your ability to deploy\u003cbr\u003e them effectively as part of your opening strategy. It is divided into two parts, each\u003cbr\u003e containing 150 problems. The first part analyzes joseki from the local perspective. In the\u003cbr\u003e second part, openings, taken from professional games in which the first moves of the\u003cbr\u003e joseki have been played, are presented. You are asked to choose the variation of the\u003cbr\u003e joseki that is best suited to the overall board position, so this part constitutes the study of\u003cbr\u003e fuseki as well as joseki.\u003cbr\u003e At times the correct move is not one the standard joseki moves. It can be an innovative\u003cbr\u003e move that is different from what is part of the standard joseki canon. In go, such moves\u003cbr\u003e are referred to as kiai (fighting spirit). Consequently, this book can be used as a supplement\u003cbr\u003e to the various joseki dictionaries.\u003cbr\u003e Examples from every category of joseki are presented -- josekis arising from the star\u003cbr\u003e point, the 3-4 point, the 5-3 point, the 5-4 point, and non-standard opening points. A\u003cbr\u003e study of this book and its companion will expose you to nearly 600 different josekis.\u003cbr\u003e The key to mastering josekis is not memorization but understanding. The problems in\u003cbr\u003e this book focus on the key points and tesujis involved in josekis. The key points refer to\u003cbr\u003e the moves that involve tactical decisions. Should you go for profit on the side or build\u003cbr\u003e thickness and central influence on the outside? These tactical decisions come up in most\u003cbr\u003e joseki patterns and affect your overall strategy. Working through and reviewing these\u003cbr\u003e problems will give your game added depth and breadth and make you a formidable dan\u003cbr\u003e player.\u003cbr\u003e The relative difficulty of the problems is indicated by the time allowances, ranging\u003cbr\u003e from 'at a glance' to 10 minutes. In general, the shorter time limits indicate problems that\u003cbr\u003e call on go common sense or knowledge of style or simply your intuitive feel for go. The\u003cbr\u003e longer time limits are for problems that involve considerable reading, the assumption being\u003cbr\u003e that you are working them out through analysis rather than just retrieving the answers\u003cbr\u003e from memory.\u003cbr\u003e Although the josekis are presented in problem format, the reader should not try too\u003cbr\u003e hard to solve them as if they were a test of some kind. The reader should not be disappointed\u003cbr\u003e if he gets most of them wrong. Many of the variations presented are the product\u003cbr\u003e of many hours of analysis by teams of professional player, coupled with experimentation\u003cbr\u003e in their games. It is enough if the reader contemplates the problems for the time allotted.\u003cbr\u003e What the reader should expect to gain after studying the answers is exposure new ideas\u003cbr\u003e and joseki innovations and how important it is to think about a joseki not only from the\u003cbr\u003e local result but also globally--how it relates to the other stones placed throughout the\u003cbr\u003e board. In short, not to be bound by the rote memorization of joseki.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 328\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.69 x 8.27 x 5.83 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e July 03, 2016\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52591516549427,"sku":"9784906574667","price":58.21,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/b1JQYzNzQTIzek13OURMOU1Tb0xOZz09.webp?v=1761659867","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/graded-go-problems-for-dan-players-volume-six-300-joseki-problems-3-dan-to-7-dan-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
