From
the Back Cover --
This is the first book about go
to be translated from French into English. Les Bases Techniques du Go
was published by Eugène Lim in 1974, and it is not unreasonable to say
that modern amateur go exists in France almost solely due to Eugène
Lim’s efforts to popularize the game. The book focuses on basic
techniques in the context of nine stone games, but these patterns appear
in even games as well. Mastering them will facilitate rapid progress for
beginners
and reviewing them will fill in gaps in the understanding of stronger
players. There is also a section on how to play
aggressively, which is essential for becoming a strong player. Two final
chapters examine the trick plays and mystifying moves stronger players
use to confuse weaker opponents.
