5.0 out of 5 stars for somewhat advanced beginner, on opening play, May 11, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: 38 Basic Joseki (Elementary Go Series Vol. 2) (Paperback)
Well written introduction to opening moves in the corners for players who have progresed beyond the earliest beginner stage. If you are beginning to have a little feeling for the game instead of feeling totally confused, this is a book for you. These opening sequences give an even result locally. The authors (a Japanese and an American professional) discuss how each opening sequence interacts with other areas of the board.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Fundamentals, February 2, 2002
By 
MaxDWolf (Alexandria, VA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 38 Basic Joseki (Elementary Go Series Vol. 2) (Paperback)
I found this a good introductory work to joseki. It did well in that it addressed the principles behind what was going on. As so many others, I would warn earlier beginners (20kyu or less) to wait before studying joseki. Then, when they do, they must STUDY joseki, not just memorize.
I would suppose my only two complaints are that the authors gave not enough attention to what one may do if the opponent steps away from best play. Also, like many strong players, there was no thought given to showing why a final position was balanced or may be good for black or for white. Still, a good book overall.
