Quoting terry mcintyre : I don't knwo how to build such a book, but "Kogo's Joseki dictionnary" is a huge .sgf file containging joseki + trick moves and punishment. Maybe it can be parsed to extract only joskis. The problem with josekis are that most of the moves in them are not commented at

One approach might be to combine some well-known joseki and fuseki books with such books as "100 tips for Amateur Players", which explain some of the pitfalls, tricks, and traps behind popular joseki. Nihon Kiin publishes some detailed and thorough joseki books. Slate and Shell published a seri

you could always take a joseki dictionary and build the trees by hand, if you feel that you're strong enough to work out the most common variations for the most common opening situations. s. 2009/11/9 Olivier Teytaud : > There is a paper about that in > http://hal.inria.fr/inria-00369783/en/ > an
