Description
`The monkey jump is worth nine points.' This is a useful proverb that tells you that the monkey jump is a large endgame move. However, the monkey jump can actually be worth fewer points or even more points, and sometimes other moves are better. It all depends on the situation. Furthermore, the proverb doesn't help you know how to answer the monkey jump correctly when your opponent plays it. Indeed, the monkey jump can seem unstoppable to weaker players. One minute Black has a large territory and the next minute White slides in and undermines it. One often sees Black answering wrongly and losing a lot of points or even a whole group.This book provides a systematic coverage of the monkey jump both in the endgame and in life and death situations. The optimal reply for stopping the monkey jump in an endgame situation is usually not the best move when you are trying to make life. Study this book carefully and you should be able to play and respond to the monkey jump with confidence.The level is suitable for kyu players, but even dan players will find something new here. The contents grew out of Richard Hunter's own studies and are based on his articles in the British Go Journal, but greatly expanded and reorganized.
