Hideo Ōtake

This book explains twenty principles of go fuseki. The book has plenty of detailed examples drawn from professional play. Each principle is demonstrated along with some consequences of missing the critical move.

As well as general fuseki stuff, some rare, useful coverage of pushing is included. Much of the book focuses on high level joseki, which makes the 'easy' part of the title a bit misleading, but it's still worth reading as a beginner.

Terrific guide to the opening moves of go. Covers a number of important principles, with enlightening examples. Each idea discussed gets only 5 to 10 pages of coverage, so the real role of this book is not as a reference, but as an introduction to concepts that the reader needs to explore in their own games. That said, Otake's coverage is lucid and accessible.
