Get strong at the endgame is a very usefull book!

The latest book of the get-strong-at series is a must for all ambitious go
players. Though my playing style is such that I do not have that many games 
with an endgame in it, I was surprised at how little I knew about end 
game tesuji. If you the following position has a solution with a tesuji, 
it is easy to figure out:



        . . . . . . . . . 0 . . .
          . . . . . . 0 0 x 0 0 .
            . . . 0 . 0 x x x A .
            . . . . 0 x . . . . .
            . . . . . x . x . . .
            . . . . . . . . . . .
            . . . . . . . . . . .
            . . . . . . . . x . .
            . . . . . . . . . . .

A move at A is very big for (0). Where would (x) play? Though I play
for more than 20 years, and I am 4-dan, nobody ever played anything 
else then A with (x) against me. 

Get strong at the end game contains:
42 9x9 whole board problems
120 end game tesuji problems
101 end game calculations
28 9x9 practical end game problems

This book is not for beginners, but if you have studied 'the endgame' from
the elementary series you should be able to profit a lot from this book.
As most problems do not require a lot of reading the problems are suitable
for kyu players, but also dan-players can profit from this book: they can
train to spot the tesuji in seconds.
