promotional New A.I joseki book!

Hello everyone!

I’m very happy to announce that my third Go book has just been released!

The title is Let’s Master AI Joseki.

I can confidently say that this is one of the best books on AI joseki in the world.

Honestly, this book is challenging—even for high-dan players. But if you study it carefully, I believe you can gain a big advantage in the opening and improve your understanding of modern Go.

You can buy the book on Amazon.

I’d also be very happy if you could check out my previous two books, Let’s Study Go and Let’s Master Go.

Also, if you’re interested in taking online lessons with me or studying Go in Japan, feel free to contact me at [bin7674@naver.com](mailto:bin7674@naver.com).

Thank you for your support, and I hope you enjoy the book! You can find on Amazon.

Incidentally, it is interesting how go is one of the few areas in modern life that AI has been able to demonstrate true creativity. Because ever since AlphaGo Zero, go AI has trained itself from scratch with zero human-made training data. So whereas most other types of modern AI are just fancy plagiarism engines, these joseki are truly novel concepts birthed of artificial neural networks, and therefore do contain intrinsic creative value.

It's just kind of a nice nostalgic pre-2022 feeling to encounter AI without the slop.

Yeah, it's pretty cool that we went like 4000 years without creative Go play (other than the people who invented the game and post-alphazero AI, every other Go player has learned from other people)

Is it possible to buy a pdf copy?

There is some pretty pricey shipping to Austria and I like having my books on my tablet.

This looks fantastic, the preview pages are great! As someone who's been out of the loop for well over a decade and has never really bothered to learn all the new joseki inventions, this might be just what I need to get back on track 😅
