21st Century new openings vol 1
Kim Sung-Rae
There is a Baduk proverb: Josekis are not for memorizing, but for forgetting The point is not
to memorize the order of the moves, but to understand the meaning of each move in a joseki.
This is what 21st Century New Openings does. In its 17 chapters, many of the modern josekis are
analyzed in detail with emphasis on the reasons the crucial moves are made. This book is divided
into three parts; the first part is on joseki, the second on joseki and its relationship to the
fuseki, and the third a summary of the new patterns that are currently played by professionals
in the beginning of the game. Every pattern is shown as it occurred in some recent professional game,
so as to help the reader understand it more easily. Anyone who plays Baduk can understand this book,
but it is especially recommended to those hoping to become professional players.
