To Begin With...
Throughout the thirty-odd years of my career as a profession-
al go player I have unwaveringly harbored one ambition con-
cerning the publication of work concerning go.
Specifically, material on the opening, the middlegame, inva-
sions, or else, life and death problems, tesuji, or, then again, a
game collection, is not the framework that I have had in mind;
instead, a completely new type of format. A work that can be
read enjoyably, yet the reader would thereby, in the process of
reading, assimilate at a single bound, a tremendous increase in
aesthetic sense and power at the game. Only thus could a book
satisfy my long-cherished desire.
The game of go offers boundless fascination.
If some of that limitless fascination could be communicated
to the reader in an interesting way and from the standpoint of
practical measures applied in real game situations... that has been
my intention.
At this time, the publisher Ikeda Toshiko has responded to
my wishes and after all these years I am at last able to freely ful-
fill my desire to my heart's content.
It is my fervent hope that the reader of "Killer of Go" will
pause thoughtfully and reflect upon the idea that, well, this way
of thinking, this way of playing, is a viable option, and approach
his or her own game with freshly opened eyes.
Nuthing equals the thrill of killing a large group of one's op-
ponent's stones, but there are ten steps that one must master in
order to understand the techniques involved, and, conversely,
there is an art to knowing how it your own, using the knowledge
to beat the living daylights out of your favorite go rival! I am
confident that this book will open vist1as in the game of go that
you perhaps have never, before now, been able to contemplate
and savor.
The material offered here has been assembled and edited by
Messrs. Okame Sanjin and Mihori Masa. They are the ones de-
serving of all acclaim and gratitude.
