When you do tsuego on a computer or anything similar, try to read as much as possible in your mind and not just trying the sequences in the editor.

Hi,

I have just installed wegoigo (for android) and I am trying to find SGF files to practice life and death problems.
Are there any archives of free problems available for download?

Thanks

Well, you have a major bad habit that I doubt that you have learned from the computer. You seem to think that go is a game of making territory and then adding to it incrementally. I had the same bad habit when I started out. That way of playing is too slow, so that you quickly start to fall behind ...

Hi Everyone,

Thanks very much for all the great responses.
I understand the issues much better now, and realise that understanding whether or not white can invade and remain alive underpins everything.

I will continue to learn.

Hi,

If your opponent has a territory, and you have the opponent surrounded, then who's territory is it?
For example:

OOOO
XXXOOO
XXXOO
XXO
XXO
XXO
XXO
XXXXXOO
OOOOOO

Black (X) and White (O) surround each other. Does this territory belong to black or to white, or does it need to be played ...
