新棋紀樂園 - 王銘琬, O Meien (9 dan)
生於台南的王銘琬，因為父親愛棋，４歲時在父親啟蒙下學棋，５歲時便得到中央日報青少年圍棋比賽的少年組殿軍；１３歲時要到日本深造前，曾經跟清大教授沈君山大戰七盤，相信台灣許多人記憶猶新！
這位當年轟動台灣，被稱為小神童的王銘琬其後在日本，果然不負眾望，前後得到許多小頭銜之後，在２０００年、２００１年連續２年獲得日本歷史最悠久的頭銜本因坊，２００２年又獲得王座頭銜；此外，他因為講解、評論生動有趣，深受日本棋迷歡迎，也得到日本圍棋記者俱樂部獎、電視製作者獎等。
王銘琬棋風創新獨特，自成一格，在日本有「銘琬世界」之封號。
王銘琬說：「圍棋是人生最佳伴侶，學會下棋，等於是得到永遠的夥伴！」
本書是王銘琬嘗試以風趣搞笑的方式寫成的棋書，打破傳統的棋書單調、功能性的寫法，而以幽默的對話讓人輕鬆理解圍棋的基本結構。寫作方式堪稱創新顛覆，不只是深入淺出的圍棋理論書，所有對圍棋感興趣的人也都能從書中各取所需。
讀了此書，不論棋力高低，都能學到一套屬於自己的下棋方法，應對所有的局面，這是本萬能的圍棋武功祕笈。
本因坊棋士張栩強力推薦：「這是一本真的很有趣的書！讀了這本書，不僅能增進棋力，也必然會倍增你對圍棋的狂熱！」
