Diagram 1 - The deployment of 1, 3, 5 and 7is known as the Kobayashi Style. White 2 at Aand black 5 at B, followed by white 6 and black7 is also considered as Kobayashi Style.

Proverbs is a lucid and penetrating guidethrough the richness of this wonderfulgame. The proverbs themselves have beenorganized and expanded to emphasize thefundamentals of the game -- fundamentalsthat even dan players are seen to flout!

This book collects and explains over ahundred fifty proverbs that have arisenover the centuries to help playersremember various aspects of the game. Forexample, there are sayings pertaining to thelife and death of groups and to a variety offighting techniques. Some proverbs helpremind players how to play certain josekis,and others provide advice about one'sgeneral approach to the game, philosophy,and fighting spirit.

Proverbs provides a wealth of basic Goknowledge in its eleven chapters: BasicMoves and Concepts; Good Shape and Bad;Playing Ko; The Opening; Joseki;Territorial Frameworks; Life and Death;Running, Connecting, and Capturing; CleverMoves, Forcing Moves, and Sacrifices; AGuide to Fighting; and a Potpourri ofProverbs. Hundreds of informative diagramsillustrate the concepts. A study of this book

will prove rewarding to all players. Abeginner, confused by the many possiblemoves at every turn, will find what havebecome standard responses to commonmoves and much guidance in generalsituations. Stronger players will appreciatespecific instruction in middle-game fightingand strategy.

Go StoriesPart 1

Dont Feel Sorry for himWho Gave Up his Life Over a Hobby

Go is a game with the longest history. Onceaddicted, most people cannot shake the hobby.Its addicting power is not less than that ofalcohol and sex. Thus Go has a nick namewhich passed on for generations, known as theWooden Fox. There is a saying that, thegame of 19 lines subdued countless people.

According to the legend, the second Emperorof Bei Song Dynasty, Guang Yi (976-997 A.D.)loved the game of Go, as mentioned in manyunofficial historical events. A monk called WenYing of the Song Dynasty wrote in Xiang ShanYe Lu, that Emperor Guang Yi had a GoServant called Jia Xuan who was known tosupply the Emperor with exquisite Go gamerecords to please him. Because of this, most ofthe high ranking officials were unhappy. Someeven suggested to impeach Jia Xuan for leadingthe Emperor astray by indulging the Emperor inGo. The officials urged the Emperor to give upGo and pay more attention to the

administration. The Emperor knew that hecould not ignore these officials, and found anexcuse saying, I know exactly what you mean,I was simply using Go as an excuse to stay awayfrom my concubines of the six palaces. Thereis no need to discuss this further. Sex is worsethan Go; and indeed only Go can help to resistthe temptation of three thousand concubinesfrom the six palaces. After hearing this, theofficials weighed the pros and cons between sexand Go, and decided that Go was indeed betterthan sex and thus put the issue to rest.

Actually, Emperor Guang Yi did not lieentirely. He was so busy with Go that he hardlyhad any time left for his concubines of the sixpalaces. Throughout history, there werecountless examples of people indulging in Go tothe extent that they neglected their daily affairs.For example, Zheng Xia of the Song Dynastyloved Go so much that he would force anyvisitor of his to play Go with him. In case thevisitor did not know how to play Go, he wouldstill insist that the visitor stay behind so that hecould put up a show of his left hand playing Goagainst his right hand. Of course, a lot of storiesabout the addiction of Go have beenexaggerated. The longer the history of thestory, the less credible the story became. Somestories even made their way into the literature.For example, Pu SongLing wrote in Liao ZhaiZhi Yi that there was a ghost who loved Go so

much that he lost his life over it. One day, theghost couldnt find any body to play Go with inHell, so he decided to look for a Go partner

among the living. As soon as he started thegame, he couldnt stop playing. When themorning came, this ghost was arrested by theHell guards and as a punishment, he was throwninto the 18 Hell, with no chance forth

reincarnation. This ghost loved Go so muchthat he lost his life. Po wrote a poem in LiaoZhai Zhi Yi to record this incident, For himwho spent all day on one game of Go. For himwho neglected his daily job. Dont feel sorry forhim who gave up his life over a hobby. His fate

merchants often paid hefty salaries for topplayers to stay at their houses to play Go. Fromthis we can see that Go itself does not causepoverty, but its the addition of Go that makespeople poor. Not all top players are addicted tothe game of Go, just as not all players canbecome top players. Fans father remained apoor player regardless playing Go his entire life,

as recorded by Yuan May. The differencesbetween top players and amateur players are asfollows. Amateur players play Go for fun, andcan often get addicted to the game. Top playerssearch for exquisite plays and perfect shapes,and pay more attention to winning than havingfun.

In summary, amateur players have fun inplaying Go, and top players get fame and profit.

In this column, I intend to write on variousaspects of Go. I will cover various aspects ofthe game: from fuseki, tesuji, shape, fighting,life and death and other facets of the game.There will be some issues where I will talk aboutcultural aspects of Go and there will be issueswhere I might talk about some aspects of thecontemporary Go scene and book review toname a few.

Much of the technical material that I willpresent here has most often arisen from mystudy with Mr. Yang Huiren, a professional Goplayer and from my games with my friend DonWiener, 6 dan. Mr. Yang resides in Boston andis the chief Go instructor at the MassachusettsGo club. Much of the material to appear herehas been excerpted from our forthcoming bookCosmic Go: A Guide to Four-stone handicap Go(by Chatterjee and Yang, Kiseido Press). I amgrateful to Sidney Yuan for letting me have theopportunity to share some of the Go secretswith the readers of Go Winds. Please write tome, with your comments about what you readhere. I will adjust the contents of this column

accordingly and I may be able to use yourresponse as material for future issues of thiscolumn.

Diagram - 1 This four-stone game begins withblacks three-space high pincer in response tothe knights move at 1. The high pincer ofblack 2 is a very positive way to start a four-stone handicap game. The down side of thisapproach is that you must know how to receivethe double attack by white as in white 3 in thisdiagram. Coming out diagonally may appear to

be mild but it is actually a very violent play, andis a favorite of Rin Kai Ho, 9 dan who oftenemploys it in his games when he plays Sanrensei

Thisis obviously not the only possible result but it isa representative one. The conclusion is thatblack cannot get a good result from this directengagement. If he does, he has fallen prey tothe diversionary tactics of white. The moral ofthe story is that the true power of the diagonalmove 4 in Diagram 1 cannot be realized unlessyou are also aware of this diversionary tactic ofwhite 19. I hope you employ this tactic in yournext four-stone or an even sanrensei game.

GO ANAPPLICATION OF THEPRINCIPLES OF WAR

Part 9Excerpts from Go Notes By Craig R.

Hutchinson

THE SECURITY PRINCIPLE

Security is essential to the preservation of

combat power. Security does not allow youropponent to acquire an unexpected advantageand with proper application your opponent willbe prevented from interfering with your freedomof action.

A player seeks to prevent surprise in potentialcombat power (e.g. aji) and preserve freedom ofaction through security by maneuvering withmultiple options and points of exchange. If youropponent occupies one point you can occupythe other (e.g. miai). The prevention of surpriseand the retention of freedom of action areaccomplished by calculated and continuousreading, use of essential combat power andmultiple options, and suitable tactical

formations and dispositions. Security is acondition that results from the establishmentand maintenance of protective options andtactics that insure a state of inviolability fromhostile plays or influences. Adequate securityagainst surprise requires protection witheffective reconnaissance, accurate reading, andmultiple options against identifiable opponentcapabilities.

The offense enhances security in that it keepsyour opponent occupied and limits his freedomof action. This is accomplished by bold seizureand retention of the offense (e.g. sente) whichreduces your opponents capability to interfere.

Since the risk of inadequate reconnaissance andreading is inherent in Go, application of the

security principle does not justify undue cautionand the avoidance of a calculated finesse (e.g.hamete). Under the pressure of enemy influencewhen your opponent has the power to destroy aforce of almost any size, forces must bedispersed lightly (e.g. sabaki) and theirvulnerability to attack reduced. However,lightness, potential, and multiple options mustbe balanced with mobility to avoid defeat. Boldplanning and execution founded on secure basesand walls provide the best formula for success inGo.
