I'm fast appreciating the quality & sheer amount of information in this small book. What chapters are your favourites? It might be a chapter that is fun to go through, or a chapter that was instrumental in increasing your strength, or a chapter that is good to keep re-reading.

My favourite is Making Shape, because it's introducing me to a lot of brilliant tesuji that I didn't really know anything about (e.g. invading an enclosure with 2 side extensions by making a cross-cut).

My second favourite is the chapter on capturing races, because squeezing, stone pagodas, etc, are so cool to read out!

In a book like this everything is so important that it is dangerous to have favorites.

Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

If you enjoy this topic Making Good Shape is worth checking out. This is one of my favorite problem books.

I have the book but and I like the first chapter. The problems are quite difficult and the example game commentary is a bit over my head. It's one for the future at least
