A legendary work by a legendary player... NOW in a new translation!
"Razor-Sharp" Sakata, so long at the forefront of the go world, produced, when he was at the height of his powers, a classic text on the theme of killing stones.
This work went through more than 100 printings during the late '60s!
Sakata conveys, with exquisite erudition, the thrill of the chase and the satisfaction of the winner when a well-planned attack bears fruit. At the same time, he offers a thumbnail sketch of the history of go through the ages, masterpieces of attack from his own and others' games, fascinating glimpses into the nature of oobeat joseki and the shape of stones, as well as classic games which he fully annotates. One is the famous game between Meijin Shusai Honinbo and Karigane Junichi, hailed as a "group-capturing masterpiece played between the top players" of the day.
Sakata also fully annotates first game he played without a handicap against Go Seigen.
This tour de force has been supplemented with a glossary and index, invaluable for beginners and aficionados alike, which greatly enhances its value as a reference resource.
