Yilun Yang «The Fundamental Principles of Go»
Translated from English by Evgeny Matveev
191 pages.
Many teachers analyze game positions in great detail. They present variations showing how the result changes when the original stones are shifted, yet no one really attempts to explain the functional dynamics of such changes.
By contrast, Yang Yilun explains the hidden meaning of stones and shapes so that, when faced with an unfamiliar position, you can understand which goals to pursue and how best to achieve them.
He has a rare ability to present complex situations in simple terms, explaining them through fundamental principles. Most of the material in this book cannot be found in English-language Go literature. In fact, this material is unlikely to be found anywhere at all.
According to him, when he taught Go in China, his students would say: “Yes, Teacher, we believe you”. After moving to the USA, he began encountering other students who said: “Yes, Teacher, we believe you, but why? How can shifting one line up or down, left or right, have such a strong effect on the result of the analysis? There must be some fundamental principle at work here, but what is it?”
This prompted Mr. Yang to reflect once again on the deeper meaning of moves. His reflections resulted in the book you hold in your hands – a true theory of Go for the Western mind.
Be prepared, your approach to the game of Go will change significantly!
