Go Review was the pioneering English-language go magazine published by the Nihon Ki-in (Japanese Go Association) through the 1960s and most of the 1970s. Go Review Archive brings you a digitized, completely searchable version of this invaluable historical and learning resource. You'll find in-depth commentaries on major Japanese matches from the golden age of Takagawa and Sakata; articles by leading Japanese go figures; fascinating pro-amateur handicap matches; and go news, including much of historical interest about go in the West.

Go Review Archive is the indispensable addition to your go library, the equivalent of hundreds of go books for a fraction of the price.
