Teach Yourself Go by Charles Matthews
Go is the Chinese board game which is comparable to chess. Now that computers can play chess as well as the best players, the appeal of Go is higher - its players can retain the vanity that chess players have lost! Teach Yourself Go explains the rules of Go and, through step-by-step illustrations, shows how to play the game. The book also covers the origins of the game and its history and culture.
Charles Matthews read Mathematics at Cambridge, where he completed a Ph.D. in Number Theory in 1978 and reached a 3 dan level in Go. He was a lecturer at Harvard in 1981-2, and at Cambridge University as a Fellow of Queens' College 1982-8. He was a finalist in the British Go Championshipbest-of-five match in 1997, and UK representative in the World Amateur Go Championship in Sendai in 2000. He is active as Secretary of the Cambridge University Go Society, the UK's largest Go club, and as an author on Go.
