This book is a renewal of the concept of “Easy Go Training: Basics of Fuseki” published by Ikeda Publishing. It introduces modern, usable fuseki and joseki relevant to the new AI era, with all problems refreshed, focusing on stars and small points. The structure first introduces the basic joseki and then explains the progression of fuseki using those joseki in a problem format. We have based this book on simple, easily understood joseki, making it highly recommended. The AI style is penetrating even among amateurs. I hope you can apply it in actual games and enjoy the fuseki.
