Book Reviews of Learn to Play Go: A Master's Guide to the Ultimate Game (Volume I)

Book Review: Judge this one by it's title
Summary: 4 Stars

I am pleased with the introduction to the game of go that this first book in the seres gives. It is very thorough and explains in more detail than any thing i have been able to find on line including [...] and their video , interactive lessons and The Way to Go which i downloaded in pdf form from their website . I am through the first section in Learn to play go. (their are 2 sections to this book.) So far the book has taught me everything i need to know to play go as well as for giving a notated game to follow along with. Rules such as for ko (the author explained an example that looked like a ko but was not) and also scoring have been cleared up for me The second section as far as i have gotten into is geared towards teaching techniques for capturing and then connecting techniques and life and death techniques. there is a chapter on capturing races, ko fighting and ending and counting. Although these subjects were touched on in the first section they are explained in good detail and have variations .
All in all, if you have been playing go on the web and just cant seem to get a win in the beginners class, I highly recommend this book. this book is meant for beginner players up to a certain strength and the next book is to start from there to a better level of playing . I recommend this book to any who would like to learn the game . There are very many examples , not a lot (but enough) of words , do it yourself puzzles at the end of each chapter. As well as pages on history , etiquette , various names etc.
