Did you know?
In 2018 at the European Go Congress in Pisa, Italy, the author of the series "You won’t get dumber while thinking" offered 100 euros for any person who would find any mistake in any answer from the 1900 Go problems, which are in the series.
Many strong Go players were looking for mistakes in these Go problems.
Altogether, only 7 mistakes have been found.
Each of these mistakes has been corrected since then and the corrected problems and answers are available for you in Google Books now.
Btw. If you don't know what Go is or if you have just learned the rules, I recommend you to have a look at the book "Shapes of mind. Go course for beginners." first.
