The easiest way to indicate the contents is to list the indexed items:This is a collection of incidents from the game of go, presented in 100 pages as bite-sized accounts suitable for bedtime reading, that relate to rules transgressions, rules disputes, rules etiquette, go diplomacy, and sometimes just plain daftness. For a game that is widely touted as having the simplest of rules, there is a remarkable variety of such incidents. This is not a complete catalogue, but certainly captures the scale and scope of the problems. The main intention, apart from entertainment, has been to try to capture the first or best examples of each oddity, or to point up cases where different interpretations or adjudications are used in the principal countries where professional go is played.
I repeat: this is for entertainment. I am not at all interested in comments by rules mavens, though I suspect quite a bit of it will be new to them.Absence or illness 10, 22, 33, 40, 44, 50

You're an education in idioms, sir. Thank you.John Fairbairn wrote:My reservations weren't about accepting a Macdonald's hamburger instead of Morton's steak au poivre. It was more along the lines of making do with a Morton's steak and missing the three peppercorn sauce. I think I've still come up with a decent steak.

You know to sell for sure[…] there may be people who want to grab it before it possibly disappears for ever […]
If you hadn’t my utter respect already you’d have earned a LOT of points now, for perfect performance and buildup of tension. I always enjoy reading you (whether I agree or not) … it is phenomenal edutainment.Thank you!This is a collection of incidents from the game of go, presented in 100 pages as bite-sized accounts suitable for bedtime reading, that relate to rules transgressions, rules disputes, rules etiquette, go diplomacy, and sometimes just plain daftness.
