British Go Journal 0.

Spring 1967.

Editor: John Diamond.

Issue 0 existed as an introductory issue of what became the British Go Journal. This issue was unnumbered. However the next issue is numbered "Volume 1 Number 1", so this has become issue 0.

Normally, only Go-ish articles are entered. However due to the historic nature of issue 0, every article is reproduced. Note that for the first few BGJs, articles were written using the coordinate nomenclature, initially with no diagrams at all. The EBGJ versions have transcribed them all into modern 'marked-up diagram' form.

Much of issue 0 is corrupt. Either because the copy is illegible in places or because the sequences listed are impossible or contradict the textual description. As much as possible has been corrected but there may still be errors.

For those interested page 1 (59K) and page 3 (41K) of the original document have been scanned. The quality is that of the BGJ document, they are not poor scans!
