SmartGo Books Adds Three by Yilun Yang

Just in time for players to get in shape for the upcoming U.S. Go Congress, SmartGo Books has added three more books, for a total of 38 designed to be read on the iPad. The latest batch is a trifecta by Yilun Yang 7 dan, "all based on his inspiring workshop lectures," says SmartGo's Anders Kierulf. “How to Destroy and Preserve” ($3.99) and “Sabaki – How to Manage Weak Stones” ($3.99) are out-of-print small books originally compiled and edited by John C. Stephenson. “The Workshop Lectures, volume 1” ($5.99) by Slate & Shell contains three chapters: When to Tenuki in the Opening, Choosing the Direction of Attack, and Playing Complicated Joseki. SmartGo Books is a free app for iPad and iPhone, with 38 Go books (including “Invincible”) available as in-app purchases. Kierulf tells the EJ that he hopes "to add at least two more highly requested books before the Go Congress."
