Go Game Guru Announces First Book Will Be on Gu-Lee Jubango

Go Game Guru has announced that their first go book will feature the ongoing 10-game match between Gu Li and Lee Sedol. "Over the last few years, many readers have emailed us and suggested that we should publish a go book of my game commentaries," says GGG’s An Younggil 8P. "We’ve been too busy to do so up until now, but this match is special, so we’ve decided that our first go book will be about Lee Sedol and Gu Li’s jubango," says An. In an unusual move, An has already published his commentary of the first game of the match online, as a draft, and welcomes reader comments and questions. "You can play a part in shaping this book, by asking questions about each game and discussing the games together," he says. The final book will include extended commentary, based on readers' questions, and detailed discussion about modern opening strategy with reference to each game. More details can be found on the official page for the as yet untitled 'Lee Sedol vs Gu Li Go Book'. In related news, Benjamin Hong 3-kyu – working with his teacher ("frozensoul" on KGS) -- has just published a move-by-move review of the Gu-Lee game on his blog designed to “allow kyu players to easily follow the game and understand some of the most significant moments of the game.”
