This book is my own, but much of the material in it has arisen in the community of Cambridge and British Go players. My thanks are due to Tony Atkins, Adam Atkinson, William Brooks, John Fairbairn, Simon Goss, Andrew Grant, Demis Hassabis, Tim Hunt, Seong-June Kim, Geoffrey Kirkness, Matthew Macfadyen, Patrick Ribbands, John Rickard, Alex Rix, Robert Salkeld, Alex Selby, Edmund Shaw, Paul Smith, Mark Wainwright, Nick Wedd and many others for their contributions. I must thank the British Go Association and in particular Tony Atkins, Gerry Mills, Alex Rix and Francis Roads for their backing. Special thanks, too, to Bill Hartston.
My children George and Heley were concerned mainly that they didn't warrant a mention on the cover, so this is for them from a somewhat absent father. My debt to my wife Clare is harder to discharge. Suffice it to say that she was a brick throughout.
