My pick: Get Strong at Tesuji (actually I would like to take the whole Dictionary of Basic Tesuji but it consists of four books : ( ), Dosaku - Complete Game Collection, Maeda's Life-and-Death: Intermediate Problems For Friday: Opening Theory Made Easy, Shusaku's Complete Collection (Invincible Harcover), One Thousand and One Life-and-Death Problems (I'd prefer the Graded Go Problems For Beginners Series but they, too, consist of four books =( ) |

My 3:
I don't have Dosaku's game collection but... Would love to bring it (if I don't have it, Jowa's). It's in Japanese or Chinese, SoDesuNe? Does Segoe's Tesuji Dictionary count as 1 book comprised of 3 volumes  ? |

The subject implies being caught for months or years on a desert island (but let us assume that survival is not the problem). So the books must first of all offer essentially unlimited study scope. Therefore I'd recommend three game collections with as many games as possible. The sand of the beach or desert then allows you to replay and study the games:) |

Robert, Segoe's Tesuji books I think can take anyone (non-pro) many, many years Or at least, can take a poor 6k like myself

The Direction of Play is read quickly and teaches outdated thinking. So why recommend it? Reading it does not hurt but "one of the best three (beginner) books"? No! |

No. The earlier Segoe-/Seigen-editions had two volumes. The later ones have three. |

Robert completely scooped me. But if I can be creative, I'll bring GoGoD and a laptop. We can stipulate that the laptop can only run GoGoD, but has a solar charger and is extremely durable. |

3 Books of pro games for me, 3 books of very hard problems for my good friend Friday. When he gives up on them I can swap him a coconut for his three. |

Desert island: I probably wouldn't study but rather enjoy some Fairbairn or any other pro-commentary book. As for Friday: 1001 life and death problems, Cho Chikun's complete intro to the game (i like it because it covers all aspects of the game, also history, pro scene, computer go...) and In the beginning, the opening of the game of go by Ikuro Ishigure. |

hmm also, if Friday was a Newbie at the start those books for him/her? would last them about 2 months - or am I missing the point? |

Thank you very much for yours advices.  I see there isn't no books fundamentals for Robinson and Friday. I search in reality 3 books to have absolutly for a beginner (12-25 kyu) and 3 books to have absolutly for a good player (better than 10 kyu).

Interesting question .Assuming I have to grab three books from my bookshelf and run... 1. Invincible: The games of Shusaku 2. Igo Hatsuyoron 3. Weiqi Sihuo Daquan (Encyclopaedia of Life and Death) Good life and death problems and game records could last years. |
