Good study materials for invasions?

Post by Time »

I am about 3d aga (haven't played a ton in the last few years other than the past month, but can play about even at 2d tygem). I am looking for good material to study basic invasion "joseki". For example, in The Middle Game of Go, Sakata shows a lot of joseki for reducing/invading against the keima and ogeima enclosures. Also, After Joseki has many sequences similar to what I am looking for.

Are there any other books in particular that cover this sort of topic well in english or any online resources which have this information?

Attack and defense has a fairly detailed chapter on invading 3-space jumps. There is also some material on invading larger frameworks, but there is a much heavier focus on reducing.

There's also a book called 'sabaki' by yang yilun. can't recall the specifics, but it's what you're looking for; invasion joseki.

If you want joseki, you could look at Enclosure Joseki by Takemiya Masaki. It's out of print, but there's a Kiseido digital edition. It is..exhaustive.

Slate and Shell had a book called "Keshi and Uchikomi: Reduction and Invasion in Go" but sadly it's out of print.

Yilun Yang's [sl=FundamentalPrinciplesofGo]Fundamental Principles of Go[/sl] has a nice chapter about invasion of many common shapes. The rest of the book is good too, I like his style of teaching.

Please specify which kind of invasion josekis you want! Early corner josekis? Middle game invasions? Only such middle game invasions that are josekis?
