I read it many years ago. At the time I had never heard of combinatorial game theory, and it's a bit hard to grasp the theory by reading this book. Perhaps you should read "Winning Ways" first: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d.html/?a=1568811306
The whole theory is fascinating, but in the case of go it's only relevant when the game has been reduced to a number of completely independent small regions (if at all). I don't have the book with me to check, but I think they didn't have a good way to analyze kos. Álvaro.
