The Theory and Practice of Semeai

More about the book

This book examines all possible types of semeai, providing you with prepared formulas that let you calculate the status of each semeai and help you become a better judge of starting or passing on the semeai. To best illustrate how and when to apply these calculations, Valery shares his personal collection of problems, which he has accumulated over several decades from the games of professionals, European and Russian champions, Russian masters and his own students."Semeai is one of the most difficult sections of go techniques for amateurs, but there's nothing mystical about it - it (semeai) can be calculated." - Valery Shikshin
