Oscar Korschelt 
Theory and Practice of GO 

Of important historical notoriety, this Go guide is a must-have for enthusiasts of this ancient Asian strategy game


Oscar Korschelt’s treatise on the game of Go was the first published at the end of the nineteenth century, but fell into obscurity until the editors Samuel King and George Leckie rescued it, translated it from the German and added numerous illustrative diagrams.


The result is a systematic analysis of the game, famous plays, problems and theories of practice — an indispensable handbook for the novice as well as the experienced player.
