MEMBER’S EDITION: Lessons with Kaz: Playing Away From Thickness

Published on 9/28/2010

A longtime contributor to the American Go E-Journal, we’re very pleased to welcome former insei Kazunari Furuyama back as a regular, now in sgf files. Kaz co-authored Kiseido’s Get Strong at Joseki, volumes 2 and 3 and is now teaching on KGS Plus. His lessons have always emphasized how to avoid basic common mistakes, and will be even easier to study and understand in sgf format. The well-known proverb tells us to "Play away from thickness." In this lesson Kaz explores what that means and how to apply this to actual play.
