Joseki books

[RobertJasiek]

Joseki creation has mainly these types of tactics:
- tactical variety of the first few moves when strategic choices should not often be limited to only one regardless of the opponent's choices,
- tactical variety within the same strategic choice and not affecting the strategic choice tree,
- tactical surprises in complex subtrees unveiling previously overlooked strategic choices.
By respecting the first kind, not inhibiting strategic decision-making by over-emphasising tactics in the second kind and avoiding complex subtrees of the third kind, strategic joseki choices are meaningful. Database statistics do not inhibit them. Instead, statistics must respect the types of tactics and their different impacts on strategic decision-making.

Strategy is not useless just because tactics exist.
