How strong are you? Here is a book that will test your perceptiveness in the opening, middle game and endgame.

Miyamoto has selected 50 situations that might arise in typical games. In each, he poses the challenge to find the best of 5 points. Will your answer be the best play or the worst? Regardless, you will find a clear explanation of the strengths and weaknesses of the move. As you work your way through this book, you will discover the strengths and weaknesses of your own game, and you will gain and understanding of how to increase your playing strength.

You will gain an indication of what your rating may be, but, more important, you will exercise your Go judgement, so that you can avoid bad moves and find powerful plays in your own games.
