81 Little Lions: An Introduction to the 9x9 Board for Advanced Beginners, by Immanuel deVillers — Revised Edition (2019)

There are plenty of resources for the 19x19 board, but almost none on the 9x9. 81 Little Lions, intended as a first step to change that, is an introduction to the world of 9x9 play.

Originally published by Immanuel deVillers (a.k.a. Françisa) back in 2015, the author has kindly given me permission to work on this revised edition before translating the book into Brazilian Portuguese.

The text has been entirely edited and revised, including changes to its structure, layout and formatting. The PDF was optimized for both digital reading and printing, and other formats are also available: AZW3 (for Kindle) and EPUB (for Kobo and others).

This book is recommended for players ranked ~15-kyu and stronger. You should know the basic Go terms like atari and komi and be familiar with the concepts of sente and gote.

Although this is far from giving a complete overview or perfect information about the subject, countless hours of the author’s life went into finding and working on strategies and tactics for the smaller boards.

Hopefully you will have an enjoyable read and maybe even learn something new from this book.
