My he rest in peace. It is hard to quantify how much he has done all these decades for popularising Go in English and he will be certainly missed.

It seems that he had a peaceful end, so that is, at least, a final blessing in someone’s life.

The book that really taught me the game was co-authored by Bozulich. His contribution to the English-speaking Go community was seriously immense

RIP :folded_hands:

Think: go world, ishi press, kiseido… All these are historical monuments for the birth of the go community around the world and furthermore.

Thank you Mr Bozulich
