You are bidding on an antique go book Guan Zi Pu (also called "Skills of Go", first published in 1894), Classic&world famous!!! (Out of print, last two copies left!!)

About this book

Author: Tao Shiyu, Qing Dynasty, China. He was one of the best go players at that time. This book took him six years and was finally finished in 1894. This is a world famous go master piece. Even today, we can still find go books from Japan or Korea which focus on "Guan Zi Pu".

Editor:  Jujo Jiang (9p) and Mingjiu Jiang(7p) from China. They're brothers,who're teaching and living in the USA now. They have regrouped the problems and add more variations, which makes this book much easier to read.

Level: This book is somewhat hard. I strongly recommend it to AGA 9k or stronger!!

Content:  Six chapters, 1. attacking&defence  2. Aji  3. Tesuji  4. Connect  5. Death&Life  6. End Game

Language: Chinese, but only a few words. The answers are on the back of each page. And for each problem, there're two diagroms to show both the correct answer and the wrong one (or variation). So it's not hard to read the diagroms to understand. And I'll even sign some key words in the book for you. Besides, you'll get my translation for over 100 Chinese basic go terms. So you can even learn a little Chinese in the mean while :)) Most readers think my translation work hepls and these books are not hard to read at all. You can check my feedback to see. Thanks!!

Size: 7.33 X 5.0 X 1.30  (inches)     848 pages with nearly 900 problems

Condition: BRAND NEW!!

Bonus

The winner can also get  traditonal Chinese folk art works, set of ten. It may be something that you've never seen before :)) Thanks!
