Go Seigen is one of the foremost GO players of the 20th century; many regard him as the greatest. A Way of Play for the 21st Century is a compilation of lectures on the opening that Go Seigen gave from October 1996 through March 1997 on "IGO KOZA," a GO program broadcast in Japan every Sunday by NHK, Japan's public television.
A Way of Play for the 21st Century prescribes that each stone played should preserve balance, and harmonize the entire position on the board; each stone must be in harmony with all directions - north, south, east, west, heaven and earth - and be exactly suited for the requirements of the situation.
