Synopsis

Go Game Basics serves as an accessible guide to the ancient game of Go, focusing on core principles for beginners and those wanting to solidify their fundamental understanding. The book begins with the basics, like stone placement and capture rules, which are essential for building strategic thinking. Mastering these seemingly simple rules is critical, as they form the basis for all subsequent strategic decisions in the game.

 
The book progresses logically, dedicating considerable attention to territory rules and the concept of "life and death"—understanding how stone formations thrive or perish to control territory. Go strategy is explained using international standards for territory evaluation and scoring methodologies. Mastering this allows players to unlock a deeper appreciation for the game's complexity.

 
The book concludes with a thorough breakdown of scoring methods, equipping readers with the knowledge to accurately calculate territory and capture points, which is critical for competitive play. This book provides an innovative approach to learning Go by focusing on clarity, avoiding advanced concepts and prioritizing essential foundations.

What if there was another way to stay in the game? What if coaches had a game plan to help them build their program, develop stronger players, and withstand the storms? 
After 28 years of coaching on the field, including 25 seasons as head coach for the University of Kentucky, and 20 years mentoring coaches both one-on-one and through his work at SCORE International and the American Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA), Coach Keith Madison has a plan to help you be successful. 
In Coaching with Purpose, Coach Madison will inspire and equip you to build a winning culture and develop players who will not only lead on the field, but in their future family, workplace, and community. Through personal stories from his years as a player and a coach, Madison shares insights to help you persevere through the challenges and live a life of impact even bigger than the game.

• How everyday people become Champions of change
• How to overcome self-doubt and lead with clarity
• How to build communities, tribes and movements
• Practical tools to influence, decide and take action

The 1906-1910 Cubs Dynasty -...

Gary D Santella

A Cubs dynasty founded on fastballs and fisticuffs.   Unlike today's Chicago Cubs, the Cubs of 1906-1910 were not at all lovable, and certainly did not always display traits customarily linked with a winning team. Their manager would brawl with his own players, and the players brawled with each other. Their second baseman and shortstop hated each other and didn't speak for years. Their best pitcher pitched with a mutilated hand. Their star catcher got into a spat with management and left the team for a year to play professional billiards. Their manager over time grew to despise the team owner. Yet, this group of brawlers, bickerers, and battlers dominated the National League and established a baseball dynasty, winning four National League pennants and two world championships in 5 years. Author Gary D. Santella follows the story of a team whose toughness and tenacity was a fitting reflection of early twentieth-century Chicago.
