Thicknes on the Go board is even for stronger Go players hard to grasp. Similar to influence it is not measurable and therefor the player needs to depend on his experience. Therefor in his book Takao Shinji tries to convey thickness over Whole-Board-Positions in which the reader should think about the further order of play. Afterwards the positions are, in small steps, explained with the view on thickness. A beautiful closure forms a view on the games from the author in his title match for the 60th Honinbo Title.
