Book excerpt: “THE GAME OF GO” was one of the first books in English to describe the national game of Japan: Go. As a practical guide, anyone reading this book can learn to play the game of Go without an instructor. It also contains an interesting history of the game, the rules of play explained and illustrated, openings, games, ending and problems. Like chess, Go is a strategic board game and is considered by many, to be superior. The board is ruled like that for Go Bang, except that it has nineteen instead of seventeen lines intersecting as many more at right angles; it is said that if there were two more lines the possible combinations of the game would transcend the powers of the human mind. The game consists in two players with black and white stones, or counters, endeavoring to surround territory — and the opponent's men — by placing one man on the board at a time, which is not moved unless captured. The stones are placed at the intersection of lines and are surrounded (captured, killed) when each line from a stone or group leads to a stone of the opposite color upon the next “me;" hence it is often necessary to place some of one's stones within a hollow group in order to effect its capture. Go is probably the oldest of all known games: some authorities say that it was invented by a vassal of a Chinese emperor who reigned from 1718 to 1767 B.C.: others to an emperor reigning from 2357 to 2256 B. C. A game easily recognized as Go is mentioned casually in a Chinese work dated about a thousand years before Christ. The game was introduced into Japan about the year 735 A.D., and for the two hundred years players have been classified with titles. The stones or “Ishi” correspond in number with the “Me” or points of intersection—180 are white and 181 black; the weaker player takes black and first move. In practice the entire number are never used. The author has found that Casino chips are the best substitute for the Japanese stones. The game comes to an end when the frontiers of the opposing groups are in contact. There are but four rules for the game. A careful perusal of the book will incite a desire to add to one's pleasure, skill and resources this old game which is relatively new to our world.

Book excerpt: The Game of Go by Arthur Smith (1870-1929), first published in 1908. This book is intended as a practical guide to the game of Go. It is especially designed to assist students of the game who have acquired a smattering of it in some way and who wish to investigate it further at their leisure. Go (Chinese: weiqi, Japanese: igo, Korean: baduk, Vietnamese: cờ vây, common meaning: "encircling game") is a board game for two players that originated in China more than 2,500 years ago. The game is noted for being rich in strategy despite its relatively simple rules. According to chess master Emanuel Lasker: "The rules of Go are so elegant, organic, and rigorously logical that if intelligent life forms exist elsewhere in the universe, they almost certainly play Go."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Master the fascinating game of Go with this expert guidebook. Go is a two-player board game that first originated in ancient China but is also very popular in Japan and Korea. There is significant strategy and philosophy involved in the game, and the number of possible games is vast—even when compared to chess. Go has enthralled hundreds of millions of people in Asia, where it is an integral part of the culture. In the West, many have learned of its pleasures, especially after the game appeared in a number of hit movies, TV series, and books, and was included on major Internet game sites. By eliciting the highest powers of rational thought, the game draws players, not just for the thrills of competition, but because they feel it enhances their mental, artistic, and even spiritual lives. Go! More Than a Game is the guidebook that uses the most modern methods of teaching to learn Go, so that, in a few minutes, anyone can understand the two basic rules that generate the game. The object of Go is surrounding territory, but the problem is that while you are doing this, the opponent may be surrounding you! In a series of exciting teaching games, you will watch as Go's beautiful complexities begin to unfold in intertwining patterns of black and white stones. These games progress from small 9x9 boards to 13x13 and then to the traditional 19x19 size. Go! More Than a Game has been completely revised by the author based on new data about the history of early Go and the Confucians who wrote about it. This popular book includes updated information such as the impact of computer versions on the game, the mysterious new developments of Go combinatorics, advances in Combinatorial Game Theory and a look at the current international professional playing scene.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thirty-four stories included within this volume do not illustrate the bloody, revengeful or licentious elements, with which Japanese popular, and juvenile literature is saturated. These have been carefully avoided. It is also rather with a view to the artistic, than to the literary, products of the imagination of Japan, that the selection has been made. From my first acquaintance, twelve years ago, with Japanese youth, I became an eager listener to their folk lore and fireside stories. When later, during a residence of nearly four years among the people, my eyes were opened to behold the wondrous fertility of invention, the wealth of literary, historic and classic allusion, of pun, myth and riddle, of heroic, wonder, and legendary lore in Japanese art, I at once set myself to find the source of the ideas expressed in bronze and porcelain, on lacquered cabinets, fans, and even crape paper napkins and tidies.
