I highly recommend the first one. It was started by a beginner who was very good at hosting interesting and instructive discussions.

Hi Glummie, Some sample discussions: MakingGoodShape You can also have your games reviewed ( the quality of the review matters ). Top human games have many examples of efficient shapes. |

Hey Glummie, i don't know which book is the best on that topic, but here is another one: ShapeUp (Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0) You can use this article as an entry point, too: Shape This video by dsaun gets recommended often |

“Shape Up” by revered L19 member Charles Matthews is a good suggestion indeed, but I’d recommend to use this (AFAIK latest) edition: http://cdn.online-go.com/shape_up.pdf |

For beginner intro to shape I recommend these 2: - https://senseis.xmp.net/?LameDuGo - https://senseis.xmp.net/?HaengMaTutorialForBeginners (Shape Up is good but probably too hard for a 25k). |

I like https://senseis.xmp.net/?GoodShape, particularly the last paragraph. |

I'm not aware of the whole book being translated to English. |

This may be a bit advanced for this thread, but I have a comment about Fan Hui's example, the so-called ripped tobi. Here is the diagram for it from Sensei's Library. The problem, as I see it, is that it is on the third line. Presumably Black will play  , else if White plays there the Black shape is really, really, really bad.  makes a ripped tobi. Bad shape, eh? Not at all, because it is on the third line. That means that whichever way White cuts, Black can capture the cutting stone. I sympathize. It is not easy to construct good, specific examples of general concepts. |
