Features: Wu Songsheng's book teaches beginners how to play Go. The name Wu Songsheng has long been well-known, but I truly started getting involved with Go only in recent years. To popularize Go, he has taken action himself by establishing the Wu Songsheng Go Education Program at Beijing Normal University. He personally teaches students to understand and learn Go. The students who attend his classes are mostly those with limited knowledge of Go, even some who are completely new to it. But once they start playing Go, they all quickly become fascinated. Wu Songsheng's teaching materials are not just about teaching individual moves; they also infuse inspiration and philosophy. Although students only have one formal class per week, by the end of the semester, everyone feels they have benefited greatly. Many of their test papers and reflections are excellent examples. This book consists of eighteen lessons, introducing the basic knowledge of Go, mainly including: opening strategies for black in the nine-move game, basic Joseki, opening strategies for black in the seven-move game, insights from special board patterns, etc. The content of this book includes: opening strategies for black in the nine-move game, basic Joseki, basic life-and-death problems, etc.
