GO JOURNAL SNEAK PREVIEW "I was standing at the bus stop in Seoul, studying the Kanzufu, the big book of life and death problems. I was stuck on this problem that I thought was actually pretty hard (as opposed to the problems I get stuck on that I suspect are really pretty easy, but my life and death skills are poor). The guy standing behind me, who clearly can't take it any more, finally leans forward and says, 'What are you looking at? That's easy.'" (Excerpted from Janice Kim's "Life in B-League" column in the forthcoming Summer issue of the American Go Journal, due out next month. Watch your mailboxes!)
