Wer Tesuji kennt, spielt deutlich stärker. Ob beim Fangen von Steinen oder dem Ausbrechen aus einer Umzingelung: Immer wieder kommen ähnliche Positionen vor, in denen "etwas geht" ... wenn nur der richtige Zug erkannt wird, das Tesuji. Es ist der eine Zug, der der Stellung gerecht wird und alles aus der Form herausholt. James Davies zeigt, wie man Tesuji erlernt. Sein klar gegliedertes Buch ist voller Beispiele, die den Fokus bei den Grundlagen halten. Spielerisch erklimmt der Leser die nächste Schwierigkeitsstufe und entwickelt ein Gefühl für den "leuchtenden" Punkt, auf den der nächste Stein gesetzt werden muss.

The middle game of go often appears chaotic, but there is order in the chaos, as this book plainly reveals. The result of a joint effort by a tournament-winning Japanese professional player and an experienced American go writer, Attack and Defense lays down a few clear principles, then goes through a wealth of applications: examples, problems, and case studies from professional play. The reader emerges with a thorough grasp of how to choose strategy, how to execute dual-purpose attacks, how to defend with contact plays, how to force his opponent into submission or cooperation, how to invade and reduce territorial frameworks, and when to fight a ko. This is knowledge that no player can afford to be without.
