The material in this book is based on a text by Iwamoto Kaoru 9 Dan that was serialized in the American GoJournal in the 1980's. The original translation was done by T. Ogoshi assisted by Roger A. Newlander, and the journal articles were edited by Don Wiener. This publication gave us the opportunity to reformat the text and to correct a number of typographical and diagram formatting errors in the original articles. We have also included the final sections of Iwamoto's study, which were never published in the journal. The new material is Types 13 through 18 in Part II, Invasion.
Iwamoto focuses on reducing and invading formations based on a corner enclosure from the 3-4 point, a very common pattern in actual games. His analysis is systematic, clear, and thorough, and will be a great aid to virtually any player. Iwamoto shows how formations that weaker players tend to treat as finished territory are in fact easily open to invasion or reduction, and his review of the tactics used in such fighting will strengthen the arsenal of even dan level players.
Because the material is presented in small sections, the book lends itself to systematic study and also serves as a reference work on how to deal with corner enclosure formations. We have provided a table of contents that shows the various patterns Iwamoto examines so that the reader can easily find the analsyis of a particular pattern.
This book is published by Slate & Shell for the American Go Association.
