Graded go problems for beginners.


Graded Go Problems for beginners are the ideal books for players who have just learned the rules of go, bridging the gap between a beginner's book and some of the more 'advanced' elementary books.

The almost 1500 problems these four volumes contain thoroughly drill the reader in the fundamentals of the game. Once he has finished studying these four books, he will have mastered the elements of capturing and defending stones, life and death of groups, elementary tactics, the opening and the endgame, thus laying a solid foundation for his future progress in the game.



Volume I contains a short explanation of the rules. As text is not so important in these books, it is the ideal beginnersbook for non-english speaking beginners.
When you have just learned to rules: study volume I, when you are reading the elementary go series, study volume II and III on the side.
These books are also of interest to stronger players: former European champion Matthew MacFadyen still uses them to keep sharp, following professional advise to study many simple problems.
