Trouble Master
By popular demand, Trouble Master by Inseong Hwang is now available in Go Books. It's a new kind of problem book: 20 full-board positions where skillful play can make gains in many areas of the board. Like in your own games, nobody is telling you where on the board there’s trouble. It’s fun to find the trouble spots, and it will help you develop your ability to detect problematic areas in your own games.
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 Amazon.
Featured books
A recently released book in the Get Strong series on handicap go, a classic by Richard Hunter on how to count liberties, and John Fairbairn on Go Seigen’s match with Karigane Junichi.
You can read a free chapter of each book to see whether the book might be for you, either in the app, or by downloading an EPUB sample. Please see the complete list of 160 books at: https://gobooks.com
Account deletion
Apple has an App Store rule that makes sense in many cases: if you can create an account in the app, you must also be able to delete it in the app. In SmartGo One, you can connect your book purchases to your email (to read books purchased outside the app, and to access your books on other platforms). The newest version of SmartGo One now complies with Apple’s rule and lets you remove your email again and reverse that linkage – I don’t expect that to be a much used feature, but at least it's available if you need it (Settings > Go Books Account).
