The ancient game of Go is one of the less obvious candidates for
mathematical analysis. With the development of new concepts in
combinatorial game theory, the authors have been able to analyze Go
games and find solutions to real endgame problems that have stumped
professional Go players. Go players with an interest in mathematics and
mathematicians who work in game theory will not want to miss this book
because it describes substantial connections between the two subjects
that have been, until now, largely unrecognized.
