When you learn how to play Cribbage, the rules for scoring may seem complex. This because not only are there multiple ways to earn points, but also because there are two separate parts of the scoring process.

Once the round is over, each player needs to score his own hand plus the starter card for a total of five cards. The dealer also gets to score the crib plus the starter card separately.

Follow this link for a detailed review of this book. Another essential book in the collection of any serious Go student. It teaches about attack and defense, and when each one is appropriate, by examples and then through problems. In the vast majority of cases, amateurs tend to over-attack, and underestimate the need for defense.

The last stage in a complete Go game is usually pretty boring, since there are less and less places to fight for, and the fights are smaller and smaller - the last one is many times a half-point fight in the final ko.

While the history of Go is much longer than that, it's these past years when Go developed a lot, once it became one of the main arts in feudal Japan so that the best Go players were playing "castle games" in front of the Shogun. The book covers that period and the transition of Go into the 20th century.
