The seminal English-language go magazine of the 1960s and 1970s, published by the Nihon Ki-in. All 184 issues—over 15,000 pages—scanned and indexed. A unique historical record of Japanese go in its golden age.
Go Review magazine, the seminal English-language go magazine of the 1960s and 1970s published by the Nihon Ki-in (Japanese Go Association), is now available in digital form. All 184 issues—from 1961–1977, including rare early ones long out of print—have been carefully scanned to preserve the look and feel of the originals.
The archive contains a wealth of game commentaries, articles by leading Japanese go figures, fascinating pro-amateur handicap matches, and news from the golden age of Takagawa and Sakata. This is an invaluable historical and learning resource. A topical index guides you to what you want in any of the later quarterly issues. Full-text search is available across the entire archive of more than 15,000 pages. Go Review Archive can be used on any device with the ability to view PDFs.
Go Review Archive is the indispensable addition to your go library—the equivalent of hundreds of go books for a fraction of the price.
