A few simple rules ... limitless possibilities

BGJ 172 Summer 2015, Reviewer: Roger Huyshe

by Richard Bozulich

This is a volume consisting of 171 problems about invading. It’s divided up into sections on invasions on the side, invasions in the corner, and invading large territories, which is a lot to cover in a single volume. Complicated situations are often broken up into multiple problems on consecutive pages, so a systematic approach to study is needed. This 3 kyu found many of the problems quite difficult and would disagree with the statement in the preface that the first two parts are accessible to 20-kyu players. In fact dan players may well benefit.
