Essential Go Proverbs
Essential Go Proverbs is the ultimate guide to mastering the ancient game of go. Written by the author of Invincible, this book compiles a comprehensive collection of the most important go proverbs, distilled from centuries of wisdom and experience from the game’s top players. Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned player, these proverbs will deepen your understanding of the game and improve your play. Each proverb is accompanied by detailed explanations and examples, making it easy to apply them to your own games. With Essential Go Proverbs, you’ll develop a more intuitive sense of the game and learn how to make strategic decisions with confidence. This book is an indispensable resource for any go player looking to take their game to the next level.
The digital version is available at gobooks.com as well as in-app in Go Books and SmartGo One, and the printed book is available from Kiseido. There’s also a limited-edition hardcover version.
This book was 45 years in the making, and well worth the wait. It’s a great book, both in terms of quality content as well as sheer volume. It touches on all areas of go; to give you an idea of what it covers, here’s the table of contents with the 104 proverbs.

The go books sale I told you about in the last mailing was a big success – thank you! You can read about the results in my blog post titled Economics of Go Books.
For something completely different, I’ve started a blog to chronicle the design and hopefully soon construction of a passive house in Kanab, Utah. If that’s something you’re interested in, you can follow along at kanab.house.
