Pretty decent book showing a lot of different plays, ideally the player should try them out to understand them better before moving on to the next examples. Instead of starting with "this is how 4 stones can capture 1 stone" that most others start with, it displays real fighting examples and variations that benefit both players. In short, this is a good book to add new knowledge to your plays at a level where most Kyu players should be able to follow. If you already know the moves, as would be expected, this is a great book to review important plays.
