All About Thickness Understanding Moyo and Influence A completely new kind of go book. Two-color printing makes the advanced concepts of thickness and influence graphically clear – and instantly understandable. Most go books are top heavy with text and endless exploratory diagrams. Ishida's approach in this book is the opposite – large diagrams, simple explanations, a minimum of mind-numbing text – yet this is the most successful attempt in the go literature to convey to go players at all levels the secrets of building thickness and making effective use of influence. How do you build influence? In what areas of the board should you aim to control? In what directions to the stones exert their force? How close should you approach a strung enemy position? How many points can you expect to convert a thick position into? The answers to these questions and many other questions will be apparent at a glance when you read this book. All about thickness, the first book of its kind, was a best seller in Japan. Go players around the world should find th English version as Japanese go fans.

Yoshio Ishida is a professional go player. was born in 1948 in Aichi Prefecture. He became a desciple of Minoru Kitani at the age of 9. He became a professional shodan in 1963 when he was 15. He was rapidly promoted thereafter. He went up the ranks faster than rules allowed after winning the first 14 Oteai games when he was being promoted from 6 to 7 dan. He reached 9 dan in 11 years, faster than most other players do. In 1971, he defeated Rin Kaiho in the 26th Honinbo match to become the youngest Honinbo in history. He held the title for five successive terms. In 1974, he defeated Rin in the 13th Meijin title match, thus becomming the third contemporary player, after Sakata and Rin, to hold two top titles concurrently. In recognition of this feat, he was promoted to 9-don. Ishida has also won and challeenged for many other major titles and is recognized as one of the leading players of his generation. He is an outstanding all-round player but is particularly skilful at overall positional judgment and at the endgame. In this regard he is known as the "The Computer" because his Yose play and counting skills are far more accurate than other pros.
