I think you are a wizard. :-P Thanks for your great post. After reading it, I feel insecure about my simplistic way of thinking. :-)


Thanks for the compliment. :)

But really, most dan players could see the aji keshi pretty quickly. (Not they would in a real game, since it would rarely matter.) The rest is just arithmetic and experience. :)

Many thanks. :) I do plan to write it.[/hide]


I'd also get one, for the record. The "Elementary Series of Go" book on the endgame is all there is at present, and I feel like there's wide room for improvement in presentation. I'd also say that you shouldn't feel like the problems are boring if they don't have any special tesujis; even handling straightforward whole-board endgame problems is more than most SDKs can handle! No need to complicate things.


Thank you for the encouragement. :) And many thanks for your feedback in these threads. It has helped me figure out what kind of materal to put in the book. :)
