| Post subject: | Any books about Go variants? |
Are there any books entirely devoted to Go variants or variations? If not, (or even if there are) are there any books that come to mind with good sections on Go Variants? I'm researching this topic, and so far I've found the following useful:
I'd very much appreciate pointers to further resources! |

In 2000, Gionata Soletti showed me his draft of such a book but I have not heard about any publication. Maybe his uncommon experience of life has demotivated finalisation of this project. |

You must be a novice. Best way to find Go variants is all kind of encyclopedias, dictionaries. Fuseki, joseki dictionary. Enclosure Joseki book etc. |

I found dailyjoseki.com to be useful for variations. |

Am I misunderstanding?You are not misunderstanding. I have learned that there is a book that was published around 2000: Go Variants. Franco Pratesi - Alessandro Castillo If anyone knows how or where to find this book, I would be much obliged! |

That is not really my area of interest. I am primarily interested in different games from Go entirely, but that clearly owe their existence to Go. Defining "What is a Go variant?" will definitely be one of the topics for the introduction to such a book, if I end up writing one. |
