		Go was and still is widely regarded as a game requiring superior intelligence that everyone from Chinese gentlemen to military generals played to show off their skills and hone their military tactics and strategy.
		Go was even considered one of the “Four Accomplishments” (brush painting, poetry, and music being the other three) that distinguished a gentleman in Chinese society (“A Very Brief History of Go”).
		Go is a game that is similar in many respects to chess, but yet, it transcends the game of chess in many ways.

		In China around 400 CE, Go was called ”Shudan,” which also means “hand talk” or “hand discussion,” suggesting that the game is a silent negotiation for control of territory, with the placing of stones instead of verbal exchange.
		Joseki is a Nipponese word that means “settled moves.” Since Go has been actively played for the last 4 and a half millennia, it’s understandable that a lot of thought has gone into sequences of moves that may be common.
		Of course, you are not required in any way to follow through with a joseki sequence, but you must keep in mind that dozens of millions of minds have analyzed joseki and they are in general bulletproof.

	Sensei's Library: Joseki Popularity
		I am certain some do, consider the case where a joseki becomes popular and is then discredited, there must be a resurgence of the joseki it had displaced.
		Certainly some sequences that were considered joseki have been discredited and hence aren't played by professionals (and some of these are recommended in the English version of Ishida's dictionary).
		We have to make the best moves we can and when we are at a stage of go development where we can appreciate why moves in a joseki are made then we should study them to develop a sense of what is an equal result in various corner situations.

	Joseki - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A joseki (定石), literally meaning "set stones", as in "set pattern" (jo means "fixed" or "set", and seki means stones), is a sequences of moves in game of Go which results in a fair outcome for both fl and white sides.
		A joseki may fall out of use for various reasons, some of which may often seem minor to the amateur player, and professionals may consider one variation suboptimal for a very specific reason —one which strong amateurs are not likely to exploit.
		While some claim that studying joseki is an important part of developing one's strength as a player, more regard the study of Life and death to be more important.

	E-Budo.com - Go and Budo
		In go it is often said that only amatuers memorise joseki, and that pro's just work them out as they play.
		The biggest argument against simply repeating sequences in Go is as Go Seigen put it in the preface(?) to a recent book...
		Thus Joseki should be played with an understanding of the moves involved and their impact on the whole board.

	Master's Theses Ideas
		Though the majority of a go game tends to be strategic (definition: what you do when there is nothing to do), ultimately a game is won or lost by tactics (definition: what you do when there is something to do).
		Tactical situations in go tend to be local and so a go playing program must be able to recognize these situations and restrict its attention accordingly.
		Such a function for a go playing program must center on the concepts of life and death but must include other factors such as whether a group can escape into the center, how nearly alive or dead it is, etc. The student will study various evaluation functions and prove via implementations which is the best.

	Go opening terminology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A go whole-board opening refers to an opening sequence of plays, almost always laid out the standard 19×19 go board.
		In English, they are almost always called joseki, but one should be aware that joseki is not a synonym of corner opening, but of standard sequence.
		It may lead to what is called mirror go, in Japanese manego, in which Black imitates White by playing diagonally opposite with respect to the centre stone.

		By sticking with a set of the most basic joseki, I find that I get less overwhelmed by the sheer number of possibilities, and I also find that the book is able to spend more time explaning each one.
		The Elementary Go series are all excellent, but joseki -- opening patterns -- are the least important thing to learn when you start the game.
		As a beginning Go player, you always seem to get the short end of the stick in the corners - a very compelling reason to buy this book, but be warned that you will only learn enough to get into trouble.

		When I was studying go in Japan, whenever I was sitting at the goban studying Joseki, Ryu would walk by and tell me not to; that he didn't know any joseki.

		Go, especially in it's most minimalist form (a small magnetic set, for example) is every bit as backpack friendly as checkers and is much more fascinating.

		Joseki moves are displayed with a J; bad moves with an X (discouragingly, the 55 point is so marked), trick with a T and follow-up with an F. What you don't get, due to lack of space, is any other comment about the moves.
		Moves that are joseki in one whole-board position would be quite wrong in another.
		More interestingly, several variants that I 'knew' should be in were absent, but on careful study of Ishida these turned out to be rather poor moves that I should not have had in my mental dictionary at all.

		Go was featured in the pull-outs of one of their newspapers, Politis (site is in Greek).
		It is beautiful :) On the joseki, indeed they are great but I notice that more and more games (professional) and especially amateur games, do not really follow established joseki but aim at destabalising the opponent without mind that own groups are not stable as well, and initiate a fight.

		Over thousands of years of Go playing, this aspect of the game has been intensively studied and a large number of opening formulas, or josekis, have been discovered and refined.
		There are omissions (the Magic Sword joseki, for one) but one person’s selection is no-one else’s, and if everything was included the book would be too overwhelming to be of use to mid-kyu players.
		Note however that the dictionary set is far more comprehensive and Ishida makes a notable effort to explain the importance of the moves in a joseki, what points are critical, and how the joseki might be undermined, and why it might be sub-optimal under some circumstances.
