Thanks for that link. Do you happen to know Steve Fawthrop's age (range) when he successfully used his method described on that page ?

Of course I do !!!! I wrote that in 1999, but did not put it up there until much later. I used it long, long before that, when I was in my 20s and still a kyu player. I was studying Tesjui and L&D at the time.

Interesting. This kind of touches on something I've wondered about for awhile which is how high dans sometimes seem to intrinsically be able to create or steer game positions into a needed shape or tesuji.

Though it seems a lot of work it does sound like a pretty strong method. And at least for me would not have to worry about flipping books every which way as with my terrible memory by the time ones finished can start back at page one and it's nearly like reading a new book (thankfully intuition about the positions and shapes presented will have been enlightened a bit).
