It looks like GoGameGuru is a releasing a new large format style book. Invincible and John Fairbairn's Go Seigen series (Kamakura, 9-dan Showdown) have become favorites in my own collection and this looks like another trove: https://gogameguru.com/introducing-rele ... gogameguru |

That looks like an interesting addition to anyone's collection. The quality of the commentary during the match was very high and accessible even to a kyu level player. With two years of editing, I have very high hopes for the final product! |

625 pages? If this number indicates something, we might get a thorough analysis indeed:) |

Can't wait! I am going to make sure to pre-order my copy as well.  Now that I have a board (not a good one, but one I can still use) I love playing through professional games so this book will be hours of fun! P.S. Anyone know of any collected works of/by Iyama Yuta? |

I do like physical copies of books though if you just so happen to know of any specifically related to him.

Large format indeed. The mailman needed a hand truck to get it to my front door. This thing is a telephone book. I'm pretty excited to dig into this weekend. |

The online sample is fantastic, with incredibly detailed and clear commentary. I probably have too many books of pro games already, but this may be too hard to resist. |

If you got the paperback one, what do you think of the quality of the binding? - i.e. is it going to last well? I'm very tempted with the hardback version just because it's rare to get that option in Go books. |

The binding seems fine, but of course it's way too early to tell if it will stand up over time. |

Received my copy as well, it is indeed quite a large book! Also fond of the LaTeX font and design, which is eyecandy for me.

I've got the paperback version of Relentless. The quality of the binding looks very good. However, in comparison to the Invincible paperback, the binding feels more fragile, inciting one to handle the book with care... The binding of Invincible feels more solid. Here is a semi-close-up picture of the binding, with Invincible on top, Relentless on the bottom: Attachment: relentless_invincible.jpg [ 28.43 KiB | Viewed 17319 times ] |
