Sabaki: how to manage weak stones.
Lecture notes compiled and edited by John C. Stephenson
This book contains notes of lectures held by Mr Yang Yilun. The following description
has been supplied by the publisher:
In the normal course of a go game, you’re eventually faced with managing a
weak stone. Knowing how to handle the situation adroitly may mean the
difference between winning and losing.
This conveniently sized study guide presents a discourse about sabaki
techniques, written in the typically lucid and hard-hitting style of Mr.
Yang, 7-Dan professional. Following his discourse are a dozen practice
problems to help you determine if you have absorbed the material.
Don’t be deceived by the small size of this book. It’s packed with
applicable information and likely will require several readings to fully
master. But, as you apply the techniques and develop your judgment, your
regular opponents will be in for a surprise as you demonstrate your newly
acquired flexibility and lightness.
Please win gracefully and enjoy.
Mr Yang is a 7-dan Chinese professional living in the USA. He is author of
several other go books, and considered one of the best go teachers in the USA.
Although the price/size relation of the book is a bit high, it certainly
contains valuable explanations on sabaki (= accomplishing something in a fight
where you are outnumbered) that cannot be found in the rest of the english
go literature.
