Sinking Feeling for "Handicap Go"

After 20 years out of print, Kiseido's "Handicap Go" was released in an extensively revised and rewritten edition earlier this year. However, reports Anders Kierulf, it may have to be reprinted again soon, as the ship carrying a thousand copies sank in the Indian Ocean last June. "Fortunately, we were insured and the insurance company already paid us the full value," Richard Bozulich says. "There is a story floating around that the ship was carrying arms for Syrian rebels and the Russian Navy sank it so those arms would not get to Syria," says Kierulf. Bozulich plans to be at the Cotsen Open later this month. Meanwhile, "Handicap Go" is now available in SmartGo Books, which has a new website, and Kiseido is having a pre-Christmas sale of books until November 15.
