The Road Map to Shodan is a new series of go books whose aim is to provide the novice player with the strategic principles and tactical skills to rise to the level of an expert player (shodan or 1-dan).
Part One of starts out by presenting all the basic eye spaces. It then shows how three basic tesujis (the hane, the placement, and the throw-in) are used to reduce the eye space of a group to one eye, then to kill that group. The second part is a life-and-death dictionary that presents 177 basic positions that often arise from josekis or common middle-game skirmishes in the corners and along the sides. As such, it is an invaluable reference work that deserves a place in every go players' library.
