New book on ukiyo-e prints

Hello,
I don't think it's been announced that the comprehensive book on ukiyo-e called "Japanese Prints and the World of Go" has been published by Kiseido. It's quite a book. It's also just about the only source for go ukiyo-e background now that Kiseido's art gallery has been taken down. Most of ...

Re: Mao's generals and weiqi

Hello,
Boorman's book attracted a lot of attention when it was published in 1969. However, back in the 80s, in my column "Talking Stones" in the old paper AGA Go Journal, I wrote a critique, pointing out, among other things, that the go diagrams he applied to the war situation were very deficient ...

Re: Neurological study regarding Go's effects on the brain

Hello,
People who are interested in the east-west aspects of this subject might like to take a look at my article on psychology and go in the Bob High e-Library (m). For example, there is some commentary on the language aspect that I didn't see mentioned in this thread.

Re: Review of Winning Go by Richard Bozulich and Peter Shotw

Hi all,
Thanks for taking the time to write in your comments and suggestions! Sorry about the diagram problems. As I mentioned, things got rushed in the end (this wasn't like working for a go press) and the proofing should have been better. I'm very glad, though, that the ideas seem to have come ...

Re: P.A.M Dirac and go at Princeton

Hello,
Not many people know, but the library of Karl Davis Robinson, a 1930/40s American go pioneer, is at Princeton. It is a huge collection, many, many shelves long, of Japanese go books--in fact, the Nihon Kiin came to it to copy books after the their building had been bombed in WWII. Just ask at ...

Re: Winning Go--Thanks for the great reponsce!

Hello all,
The dust is finally settling. Sorry, but if you didn't hear from me, then I choose someone else. I had a limited number of copies available and wanted to spread the readers out among various levels. But thanks, all, for inquiring! It was deeply appreciated.
Best,
Peter
