Download or read book Absolute Counting written by Meien O and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2024-11-05 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a guide to counting unresolved territory using O Meien's method of Absolute Counting. It provides a detailed explanation of how to value and count boundary plays (yose). Amateurs will benefit from this method as they will lose their fear of things such as sente, gote, reverse sente, and even ko. They will also learn new things like the margin of error and certainties! And, above all, they will learn how to think about the endgame in practical, full-board play. Once you understand counting, you will be able to judge board positions accurately. 'In the endgame, counting (evaluating the position) is less strenuous than seeking the correct move. To find the correct move it is necessary to read through to the very end, but if you select a move based on counting, even if that move is not the most valuable it comes within the margin of error.' O Meien 'De-iri (move counting) has long been the standard way to approach yose (boundary play) in Japan, going back to early Edo times. Miai was considered even in Meiji times but did not become part of the mainstream until the 1950s, and even then was mainly an amateur topic. It was intended as a way of adding territory counting to move counting. It is imperfect. Absolute Counting is a way of trying to iron out the imperfections.' John Fairbairn
Book Synopsis Meijin of Meijins by : John Fairbairn
Download or read book Meijin of Meijins written by John Fairbairn and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2015-04-18 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Honinbo Shuei (1852 1907) is the go player that masters of the calibre even of Go Seigen and Takagawa Kaku professed to admire the most. Many consider him the Meijin of Meijins, and in his late years no-one could play without a handicap against him. Yet he achieved his dominance only in middle age, having several times disappeared from the mainstream go world for months on end. He lived at a time of enormous upheaval and uncertainty in the Japanese go world, seeing tragedy strike his father, his brother and his mentor. His own life was marred by a debilitating disease. But he compounded his problems by choosing to struggle - with some success - to uphold the Honinbo name and the game's traditions in the brave new world represented by the rival Hoensha organisation. This book is a ground-breaking, detailed biography of Shuei set within the background of the tumultuous times he lived through. It is sympathetic but candid.

Book Synopsis Tommy Hinnershitz, the Life and Times of an Auto-Racing Legend by : Gary Ludwig
Download or read book Tommy Hinnershitz, the Life and Times of an Auto-Racing Legend written by Gary Ludwig and published by Basket Road Press. This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many have called him the greatest dirt-track Sprint car driver of all time. This exciting biography of Tommy Hinnershitz, by veteran writer Gary Ludwig, is a superb account of the life and times of this racecar driver who became an auto-racing legend. This beautifully printed hardcover book is a fascinating history of the Sprint car, telling how it evolved, beginning during the first few years of the 1900s, to become the true American racecar. Racing and winning on the dusty dirt horse tracks at state and county fairs across America earned Hinnershitz a chance to race in the Indianapolis 500. On the dirt he was there at the beginning, one of a handful of daredevil athletes, the champions who invented the broad slide; going in low and coming off high, or vice versa. After leading the way, setting the pace, and developing the style, Hinnershitz set himself apart from all the others; he went in high and stayed there. This history of his life and amazing career includes over 20 pages of photographs and his complete race-by-race career statistics. Hinnershitz was inducted into the Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame and the National Sprint Car Hall of Fame. This first edition book is already becoming a treasured collector's item for thousands of Hinnershitz's fans.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended for amateurs in go who would like to learn and employ the modern AI style. The AI style may seem confusing because there are so many tactics far away from traditional thinking. But the study of the new techniques introduced by AI has already lead to their rapid spread and adoption. Today they are applied by pros almost as a matter of course. This book summarizes the findings from the study of AI techniques and explains them in illustrative diagrams. "I wrote this book with a lot of enthusiasm and I hope that this way everybody can profit from the insights of my studies. I am very happy to be able to witness this important turning point towards a new era, in which an AI can defeat humans in the game of go. Engaging with the AI style has given me joy like I have never felt before in go. I hope this kind of joy will be conveyed and passed on through the book." Yamada Shinji
Download or read book Go for Beginners written by Kaoru Iwamoto and published by Pantheon. This book was released on 1977-03-12 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Go is an ancient, subtly beautiful game of territory. But with its nearly endless possibilities and challenges, it is more than just another game; it is a way of life for tens of millions of players throughout the world. Embodying four thousand years of Oriental thought and culture, go is the oldest game in the world still played in its original form. Go is the kind of game that one can learn in a day—and spend a lifetime perfecting. It is more art than science: in order to surround and capture the opponent's territory, one needs intuition, flexibility, and acute perception combined with a sharp analytical mind. Each player is a partner in an exercise of coexistence; each player needs the other for self-enlightenment and for enjoyment. But then, too, go is a game whose strategy has been compared to the tactics of guerilla warfare. Go can be all things to all people; it is simple, elegant, and unexpectedly beautiful. This book contains an introduction; a brief example game; a clear, leisurely explanation of the rules; and illustrations of the simplest techniques of good play and of some easy and some more difficult problems the player will encounter. The appendixes include a concise list of rules, a glossary of technical terms, and a list of international and American go organizations. Among go players, Go for Beginners is known as the best beginner's book available.

Inspired by Asian and Middle Eastern mythologies, The Dragon Pearl Series box set contains six novellas whose interconnected stories determine the fate of a universe in the novels Tamuda Rising and The Four-Day War. Packed with adventure, this complete 1400-page series is perfect for readers of epic fantasy. Book 1 - Hotsuka’s Story Banished from Heaven and no longer a Celestial, Hotsuka must adapt to his new life as the monk, Gaurang. Can he rescue his newborn son who’s destined to change the universe? Not everyone, however, wants change. Book 2 - Barid’s Story Barid, a once-elite warrior turned blacksmith, despised and ridiculed by villagers, waits for Noor: a man whom he’d die for; a man who may already be dead. When Gaurang arrives and promises the villagers a miracle, Barid must decide whether to remain a blacksmith or put his past and Noor behind him. Book 3 - Omid’s Story If he’s to save the Empire, Omid, the emperor’s sickly son, must complete Gaurang’s undertaking: to forge a sword so light and sharp it will cut a falling leaf. With a Dragoness out to sabotage the undertaking, can Omid complete the task in time, or will he plunge the Empire and the Dragonfolk back into endless war? Book 4 - Madhuri’s Story Captured by the nomadic Tamuda, Madhuri receives two gifts from a snake spirit. Thanks to the first gift, she is betrothed to the charismatic Chuluun. As Madhuri settles into her new life, she discovers her presence endangers the entire Tamuda nation. When the spirit’s second gift reveals itself, Madhuri realises she must sacrifice everything, including Chuluun. Book 5 - Babak’s Story Half-human and half-monkey, Babak befriends Kunie, the emperor’s daughter. Infatuated, he wants to be a guardsman and, one day, Kunie’s personal bodyguard. But Babak was born to serve a greater purpose. How will he react when he learns his commitment to Kunie and his destiny are not one and the same thing? Book 6 - Shernaz’s Story Abandoned by her husband, Shernaz is rescued by the Queen of Patalama and given a Dragon pearl. Thanks to the pearl, Shernaz enjoys prolonged youth and the independence she always dreamed of. When the pearl loses its power, obtaining a second carries a dreadful price. Book 7 – Tamuda Rising The Tamuda nation gathers and prepares for war. The Takeo Sura, a cabal of disgruntled Dragons, use deceit, cunning and murder to create chaos before the invading horde reaches the Imperial Fortress. While a desperate group of guardsmen try to hinder the Tamuda’s advance, the Fortress prepares for a siege. The Takeo Sura, however, have other ideas. In Tamuda Rising, the storylines for Gaurang, Barid, Omid, Kunie, Babak and Shernaz converge. Each has a role in determining the fate of the Empire and ultimately the universe. Book 8 – The Four-day War As the Tamuda battle their way into the Imperial Fortress, the Takeo Sura hamper the Empire’s attempts to defend itself. With Gaurang missing and news Babak has sided with the Tamuda, Kunie’s first days as empress are fraught. Meanwhile, Lady Shinju and the Meijin Council arrive on the Dragon Isles. Like Lord Takeo, she’s prepared for a four-day war, the outcome of which will decide the fate of humans, Dragons and gods alike. The Four-Day War is the eighth and final instalment in the Dragon Pearl Series.
