This guide to understanding
joseki is the result of a collaboration between two very popular and
highly successful go teachers, MingJiu Jiang pro 7 dan and Guo Juan pro
5 dan. The idea for this project emerged from a series of joint lectures
given on KGS by Mr. Jiang and Ms Guo. Some of the material in this book
is drawn from those lectures, though most of it was specially prepared
for this study. The book uses a series of amateur games to illustrate
issues about joseki. In the first part, mistakes in joseki sequences are
analyzed and corrected, while in the second part the problem of choosing
the correct joseki for the board situation is the focus. The aim is to
help players understand what joseki are all about: why particular joseki
take the forms they do, and why some joseki work better in particular
situations than others do. The key is to grasp the principles that guide
the development and choice of joseki. These experienced teachers know
how to help you do that.
