The Pocket Skills Series has been written by Mr. Yang Yilun 7 dan, based on more than ten years experience of teaching Go in the United States, an is devised to help the reader to achieve the strength of 1 dan. Mr. Yang came up with the idea of printing pocket-size books so that the reader can study Go at anytime and anyplace.Rescuing and capturing stones are two vital techniques in the game of Go. In this first volume, these two techniques are introduced in depth through eighty exercises.
Nice little collection of 80 go problems for practicing your reading skills. I like the small form factor, I keep it in my jacket pocket for those random 'waiting in line' moments. Not too easy, not too hard.
