This is an exhaustive manual that details how sparkling technique may bring one's game alive. 61 Model situations are examined, in which deadly hane, exquisite placements, and stunning attachments, among many other skillful finesse, are shown to be surprisingly effective.

The layout of the book is also ideal for study and review work. In addition, a general introduction to the subject sets the stage for the main text, which the book ends with several examples from actual games. In addition, the author, Sakata Eio, Honorary Honinbo, includes a number of vignettes, in the manner of Killer of Go, the work of his which preceded this one.

Seizing control of the center is vital for gaining the most territroy. Additional examples of using pivot points (an intersection on the edge of opposing moyos, which, upon occupation by one side, will expand that sides moyo and reduce the opposing moyo) for seizing control of the center are provided. Utilizing Outward Influence is a book for helping one reach shodan strength and reviewing the tactics and strategies used by dan players.
