Features: Go, as a 5,000-year-old Chinese art, has been cherished by scholars and artists for millennia. It is a beloved pastime enjoyed by people from all walks of life, from the scholar-official class to commoners. After the founding of New China, Go experienced significant development across the Chinese mainland. Notably, the eleven consecutive victories of the Go Saint Nie in the China-Japan Go Tengen Tournament sparked wave after wave of Go fever in the country. This book comprehensively introduces the author's research findings—the "586 Go Improvement Program," which primarily consists of three aspects: the five stages of a Go game; the eight weapons for winning in actual play; and the six techniques of Go. Starting from multiple perspectives such as layout, life and death, opening moves, mid-game, and ending moves, it gradually enhances the playing skills of readers at this level through exercise-based practice.
