This is the second volume of an original work, which aims at outlining the progress of Go in Europe. It is formed by two parts dealing with the history of European Go after 1950 - until 1958 and 1968, respectively. Go journals of the time were used extensively as primary sources. Assistance was received by Theo van Ees and other experts; this allowed a more extended and correct historical reconstruction in several cases.

The author began to publish studies on the history of chess and draughts in the 1980s. In the following years, he enlarged the field to include other games, becoming for the instance honorary fellow of the International Playing-Card Society. Recently, his attention is mainly focused in the history and bibliography of Go, especially from the European point of view.
