THE SAINT OF GO: Shusaku was the leading player of the golden age of go in the mid-19th century. He has become known to later generations as the Saint of Go (Kisei or Gosei) and is recognized by modern players as one of the greatest geniuses in the history of the game. His victories over his contemporaries in a number of matches contributed to his reputation, but its main foundation is his perfect record, not even approached by any other player, of nineteen successive wins in the annual castle games played in the presence of the shogun. SHUSAKU'S REPUTATION: Shusaku is considered the best model for aspiring professional players to study, especially his games with black. He was unexcelled in his complete mastery of the strategic principles and the practical techniques of go. His games are a treasure house of all the varied elements of the game, from the fuseki to the endgame, but in particular they provide amateur players with ideal material for studying the art of fighting in the middle game. Here are some 20th century views of Shusaku: "Shusaku simplified the complexity of go, concealing his great strength and profound analysis beneath the smooth surface of his game... It is not an exaggeration to say that all the principles and all the techniques of go are embodied in concentrated form in Shusaku's go." - Segoe Kensaku 9-dan "The speed and forcefulness of Shusaku's play with black are like lightning striking the go board; his skill at finishing off his opponent once he took the lead is unrivalled." - Hayashi Yutaka, go historian

Go is the ancient oriental board game, play by millions throughout the world. The rules are so easy a child of five can learn to play, but true mastery requires years of intensive study. Like nature, its simple elements-- wood and stone, line and circle, black and white -- build into complex structures. Go is the perfect game for developing left- and right-brain abilities -- intuition and pattern recognition as well as brute-force analysis. In addition, the richness of its strategic concepts allows go to be used as a model for real-life decision making. Go also teaches the value of patience and it shows how to balance aggressiveness and restraint for maximum gain. "How to Play Go. A Concise Introduction" is a straightforward introduction to the game. The ten basic rules are clearly explained in just a few pages. Problems are interspersed throughout the book to drive home the concepts being presented. After the rules are thoroughly explained, there is a section on opening strategy, followed by a section on tactics. Everything that is essential to playing the game is included with ample references to resources that will aid you in continuing your study of this ancient and profound game.
