New to Go? This is where real players begin. Level 1 walks you step by step from the very first rules to confidently finishing full games on a 19x19 board. You will master capturing, liberties, basic tactics, and the core patterns that every strong player sees instantly. Instead of memorizing random tips, you will build clear board vision and disciplined thinking habits from day one. By the end, you won’t just know the rules — you’ll understand what’s actually happening on the board.
After reading this book I am just a bit more confident in my understanding of this amazing game.
I think it's the best introductory book to GO I've read so far.
On the whole, I think this is the best introductory Go book available today. It's not because of the humor, though that is a nice touch, but because the author really gives you a sense of almost all aspects of the game.
