Yuan Zhou explanations a very clear and instructive.
Please give an example! Some years ago I looked into Understanding How to Play Go for about half an hour, but did not get this impression. Is that because he writes so much for kyus that dans can be disappointed?
When I was in the SDK range in 1993, the common advice was: "Wait until about 3 kyu before you start studying pro games!" Well, I started as 5 kyu with the books existing then: Invincible, 1971 Honinbo, Appreciating Famous Games, a bit later 1992 Tournament Go. The comments were easy enough, but I did not learn much from such books; they are much stronger at entertainment. Now I wonder: How do you compare Yuan's comments to such books? Do they make appreciating pro games feasible for players from, say, (also) 10 to 5 kyu?
