Every game involves counting liberties in capturing races, from huge game-deciding battles to small scale questions of whether a cut works or a defensive move is necessary. How many times have you been surprised to end up one liberty short? Did you miscount or somehow misplay the fight? Shouldn't you have won instead? Every go player has had this experience. Losing a capturing race can be disheartening, but winning one can be exhilarating.
Counting liberties and winning capturing races are part of the fundamental knowledge that you need to understand thoroughly. This book provides a systematic coverage of how to count liberties in the different types of fight. The first chapter guides you through numerous simple examples and presents general principles that you can apply in your games. The level is suitable for beginners, who should have no trouble following this clear and methodical explanation, but even dan players will find something new and important here. The following chapters present applications of these principles to more complicated capturing races, several games with detailed comments, and numerous problems for practice. Study this book carefully and you will find yourself winning more capturing races and savoring the joy of killing your opponent's stones rather than dying.
