This book covers the elementary tactics of the game of go, apart from those of life and death and of the endgame which have been saved for other volumes. Problems, which the reader should try to solve as he reads along, fill about half the pages. Most of them will yield to a direct application of the ideas in the text, although in some of the problems at the ends of the chapters the reader will be on his own.
I am indebted to Richard Bozulich and James Kerwin for contributing problems and examples and for proofreading, and in particular to James Kerwin for making suggestions that led to the writing of chapter one and the organization of the book in its present form.
