Masterpieces of Handicap Go, Volume 2,
This collection of famous handicap games was first pubin the American Go Journal. They were translated from various Japanese sources and have been completely reset for this anthology, giving us a chance to correct a number of errors in the original articles. They have again been comreformatted for this second edition, adding many addidiagrams so that there are fewer plays per diagram.
These heavily commented games are ideal for study. The commentary is unusually thorough, discussing the basic strategy of the players as well as particular tactics, and it is presented in such a way that Kyu level players will find it as useful as Dan players. One of its outstanding attractions is the discussion of the special strategy appropriate for handigames for both Black and White.
The games feature famous Japanese professional playsome future champions, playing with a handicap in real games rather than staged pro vs. pro games. Sometimes they are teaching games between a student aspiring to become a professional and an established professional. Or they might be test games used to evaluate a student's progress or a prostudent's suitability for instruction. In any case, we have the opportunity to see some great players at an early stage in their development.
In a second volume we present the rest of the games from the original series in the American Go Journal, plus new translations of some additional handicap games.
