New book, Relentless - Lee Sedol vs. Gu Li
It looks like GoGameGuru is a releasing a new large format style book. Invincible and John Fairbairn's Go Seigen series (Kamakura, 9-dan Showdown) have become favorites in my own collection and this looks like another trove: https://gogameguru.com/introducing-rele ... gogameguru

Re: New book, Relentless - Lee Sedol vs. Gu Li
That looks like an interesting addition to anyone's collection. The quality of the commentary during the match was very high and accessible even to a kyu level player. With two years of editing, I have very high hopes for the final product!

625 pages? If this number indicates something, we might get a thorough analysis indeed:)

Re: New book, Relentless - Lee Sedol vs. Gu Li
Can't wait! I am going to make sure to pre-order my copy as well. 
Now that I have a board (not a good one, but one I can still use) I love playing through professional games so this book will be hours of fun!
P.S. Anyone know of any collected works of/by Iyama Yuta?

There are two good ones by the Nihon Kiin publishing available in Japanese as paper copies and e-gobooks.Katharsys wrote: P.S. Anyone know of any collected works of/by Iyama Yuta?

The free ebook collections that logan assembled are great if you just want an easy way to play through the games.Katharsys wrote: P.S. Anyone know of any collected works of/by Iyama Yuta?

Re: New book, Relentless - Lee Sedol vs. Gu Li
This would be perfect! Thank you so much! I do like physical copies of books though if you just so happen to know of any specifically related to him.jeromie wrote:The free ebook collections that logan assembled are great if you just want an easy way to play through the games.Katharsys wrote: P.S.

Large format indeed. The mailman needed a hand truck to get it to my front door. This thing is a telephone book.
I'm pretty excited to dig into this weekend.

The online sample is fantastic, with incredibly detailed and clear commentary. I probably have too many books of pro games already, but this may be too hard to resist.

Re: New book, Relentless - Lee Sedol vs. Gu Li
did you get the paperback or hardback version? If you got the paperback one, what do you think of the quality of the binding? - i.e. is it going to last well? I'm very tempted with the hardback version just because it's rare to get that option in Go books.jdl wrote:Large format indeed. The mailman needed a hand truck to get it to my front door.

Re: New book, Relentless - Lee Sedol vs. Gu Li
I have the paperback. The binding seems fine, but of course it's way too early to tell if it will stand up over time.CnP wrote:did you get the paperback or hardback version?

Re: New book, Relentless - Lee Sedol vs. Gu Li
Received my copy as well, it is indeed quite a large book! Also fond of the LaTeX font and design, which is eyecandy for me.
