Improve Your Intuition; Vol 2 - In the Middle Game, part 1 Ref: 1-SL12 Intermediate level - Explanatory. In the middle game hand to hand fighting is a major element; one move can be vital for success. Of course it is necessary to keep the initiative in such fighting, and good intuition coupled with ability to read out a situation, enables you to find the vital points needed. It is important to remember that true power is not just found in being aggressive, so both attack and defence is considered. (44 pages; 75 grams; 14 x 21.5 cms) Price: £6.50 Quantity:

Improve Your Intuition; Vol 3 - In the Middle Game, part 2 Ref: 1-SL13 Intermediate level - Explanatory. One way of conceiving of a moyo is as the limit to which a player can extend his influence. Accordingly, when trying to reduce it, one should do so with caution and not attack too deeply. However, all rules have their exceptions, and there will be a few cases where you can invade deeply. Selection of these is a matter of your intuition. (44 pages; 75 grams; 14 x 21.5 cms) Price: £6.50 Quantity:
