A history of adventure

Post by Javaness2 »

Sinan Dejpov appears to have written a book about Go. To be more precise it seems to be about going to China to study Go. The diagrams leave something to be desired I think, but the content is like a fast flowing river

Black 15 should have been captured at C2 which was later filled by move 22.

I only just checked this out; from Java's description I'd assumed it was mostly a studying in China human interest diary, but it's actually got loads of interesting go content: highlights of games and interesting moves, AI study etc. The presentation and proof-reading isn't as polished as you'd expect from a printed book, but still an impressive piece of work from Sinan. Also there's a version with a white instead of coloured page background if you prefer.
