Review(s)

Volume II is the direct continuation of Volume 1. I recommend that you review Volume I before reading this one, but it's not strictly essential. Volumes II and III in the series are designed to take the reader to about 12 gup or kyu.

It was my intention to make it possible for those who only read Volume I to have all the information they need to play go. Concepts which were not introduced until this volume were briefly included in Volume I. In an effort to keep it simple, certain terms were used that are unwieldy or imprecise in more advanced books. The biggest change in terminology is the word hane for "turn the corner." The new terminology is introduced gradually to give readers a chance to familiarize them selves with new words.

The first three volumes are the introductory series, designed to give the reader the most solid foundation possible for quick progress. For that reason, stronger players who wish to wait for more advanced books are encouraged to review earlier volumes to make sure there are no gaps or "weak points" in your game. On the other hand, every effort is made to make the more advanced books accessible to new or inexperienced players, by avoiding jargon and analysis requiring specific prior knowledge, for example, "This high kakari in response to the nozoki is brilliant, showing a deep grasp of the fundamentals" becomes, "White 1, ignoring Black's threat, means to give up the smaller area on the right in order to take the bigger area on the left."

As always, I've tried to stick like a barnacle to Mr. Jeong's teaching, but any mistakes here are strictly my own. (I have also added some commentary, in which personal pronouns refer to me, and not to Mr. Jeong, unless clearly stated.) Many, many thanks to the reviewers of this book and Volume I, and also to Michael Simon, Philyoung Kim, Paul Agresti, Barbara London, David Mechner, Timothy Greenfield-Sanders, and Angie Lee for contributing their talented efforts to this project. Additional thanks go to the Hankook Kiwon, the Nihon Ki-in, my family and friends, and to my students, who teach me more than I teach them.
