The opening is the most enjoyable part of the game to study and to play. You do not have to memorize hundreds of variation as you do in joseki or read out countless possibilities as in a life and death situation or in a middle game fight. You also do not have to make precise calculations as in the endgame. This is all hard and exhausting work. In the opening, precise calculations are impossible, even for the strongest players. What is required is intuition based on good judgement. Within that constraint, you are free to use your creativity to plan your strategy. The best way to get strong in the opening is to develop a sense of which direction to play your stones. This book, with its 175 problems, will help you accomplish this. Most of the first 90 problems are based on four of the most common opening patterns: the niren-sei, sanren-sei, the Chinese opening, and the Shusaku opening. If you seriously think about these problems and remember the key moves, you will never be at a loss as to how to play in these openings. The last 85 problems are of a more general nature and are presented in order to develop your positional sense in the opening. This book is part 1 of the Get Strong at Go Series.
