WEIQI/GO
Il Weiqi, o Go in giapponese, ha e continua ad avere un'importante bibliografia, soprattutto in inglese (oltre, molto probabilmente, alle lingue orientali!). In questa sezione si trova una selezione di libri che propone testi "classici", manuali introduttivi e libri su alcune situazioni di gioco.
