Hi all, I just wanted to announce that level 4 of the "So You Want to Play Go?" series is out. The book is intended for low dan players, approximately 1-4 dan or so (although I'm sure people who are 1-5 kyu will certainly find it interesting). It has sections on joseki, positional judgment, and professional games. If you've ready any of my other books, then you should be familiar with my laid back style. The book simulates how I trained in Go when I was studying at the Yu Changhyuk Baduk Dojo in Migeum, S. Korea. The book has been reviewed by Alexander Dinerchtein 3p, and there is information on his online Insei league. Check it out if you're interested!

The book is available as a pdf on my website, and also on the Amazon Kindle!

Any chance of a discounted bundle in the foreseeable future? :) (Perhaps for the first three books?)

You can purchase a physical, print version here: http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/so-you-want-to-play-go-level-4/18819717

Yutopian offers a discount for the bundled packages I believe, if you visit their site. I'll look into doing it myself for the electronic versions :)

I ended up just buying the first three books today. :) The third book is the one that's aimed at where I'm currently at on my Go journey, but I figured it can't hurt to just read them all. Plus, Kirby's review at SL gave me the impression that they'll be a good read no matter what.

I'm trying to ween myself off of paper books, so the electronic versions (epub) work just fine for me. They found their home on my iPad already. Here's hoping that they will help me to become part of the target audience for your newest, the 4th book!

Jon can correct me if I am wrong, but my understanding was that Dinerchtein and Jon had correspondence with the creation of material used in the book.

Yeah we collaborated, but I'm the one that wrote the book is basically what I was trying to convey. He was essentially an adviser.
