Yilun Yang's Go Puzzles - Volume 2
103 pages, paperback, Slate & Shell, 2001
Discontinued
This pocket size book of life and death problems is by Yilun Yang, 7 Dan Chinese professional and one of the best known Go teachers in the US. This collection has an unusual and interesting characteristic: each problem is based on the shape of a Chinese character. The character and its translation are given as the title of each puzzle, so that readers can actually learn 50 Chinese characters by working through this book. Although these patterns will never occur in actual games, the tactics used to deal with them are the same as in all fighting. This collection is particulary rich in situations that involve creating a ko, providing practice in a tactic that most players are relatively weak at.
Mr. Yang provides solutions, variations, and failure diagrams for each problem, and he estimates the range of difficulty as being from 10 kyu to 4 dan.
