Robert Jasieks on three volumes designed work about the theme Joseki deals in the first volume with the basics, in the second volume all relevant strategic concepts shall be dealt with and in the third volume theoretically insight of the first two volumes shall be applied to on actual Joseki and so try to classify and analyse them in detail.
In this first volume first of all stones, moves and there characteristics are investigated in view of there meaning and development potential. Because of the big complexity of Go the author considers it important to deal with this theme basically, as without structure, concept, method, and fitting vocabulary we are not able to create a system in the multiplicity of moves.
