Meet Keno, a shy little girl with feline features who enjoys running, rolling, and vaulting across the rooftops of her hometown. It is a dreamlike city floating alone on the waves of a distant ocean, piled high from scrap and held together with maybe a little bit of magic.When Keno's self confidence is tested, she finds her life spiraling into danger. She can't decide what's worse, the dark Bedlam that forever waits under the city to consume anything in its path, or a mysterious monster hiding out in the abandoned alleys of the city.With the wisdom of the Foundling, one of the city's many guardian kami, and a little bit of faith in herself, Keno might find the inspiration to do more than just save herself.

The endgame tends to be the neglected side of the game of go. This is strange indeed, for it also tends to be where the outcome is decided, and frequently accounts for about half the stones played.This volume, by a Japanese professional go player and a strong American amateur, seeks to rectify this situation by setting forth the basic tactics, strategies and counting techniques needed in the endgame.Everything from the smallest local tesujis to the global macroendgame is covered. With numerous examples and problems, many of them drawn from the Japanese author''s professional games. The reader is encouraged to think for himself and, by doing so, will certainly become stronger.
