First volume of the new series of Kiseido titled 'The Road Map to Shodan'.
The subtitle of the first volume reads 'Making the Transition from Handicap to Even Games' and hints at the essence of the book: how to make good use of your (handicap)stones on the starpoints? The book takes the reader through several reviews/guidelines of 9-stone handicap games and eventually makes the transition to even games in which the san-ren-sei opening (3 star-points in a row on one side of the board) is central.
