Weird and Wonderful, Volume 2: Unusual Opening Patterns and Techniques through the Eyes of AI

By Kim Ouweleen

Joseki and go techniques aresubject to change.They evolve and are refined

over time in the constant search for perfection. Since AI has come onto the

scene, joseki and super-human-computer go programs have become inseparable.

We can no longer play these quences that were familiar to us without wondering

what AI has to say about them. Many established corner patterns have recently

been refuted, and some lesser-known ideas have risen to the surface and become

the new standard.

In this book, I explore a range of unusual opening patterns and techniques,

tested against AI. As was the case for part one of Weird and Wonderful, I focus

on the extraordinary: moves that surprised and inspired me.
