Re: How to improve reading ability ? 1K+

Could you quantify: 'a lot' of tsumego. One person's a lot might be another person's not enough. Also, how often do you play games? Do you play blitz or long games?

Re: using bots for practice?

First let me say: DO NOT PLAY BOTS if you want to get stronger! The reason is that bots tend to play a lot of bad/useless moves. For a beginner it makes it very confusing which moves the bot makes are genuinely good and which are just flaws with its programming. This among other things will cause ...

Re: Japenese hand book

They seem to be additional booklets from the Go World magazine. Do you have a better picture? It is hard to read some kanji since the picture is blurry and the books are worn.

Re: retrieve old wbaduk games

You could try a file-recovery software if there is no online archive and you still want to recover them. If the files didn't get overwritten it should work.

Re: New Dictionary of Life and Death

Is it worth getting if you already have All About Life and Death?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nvm, I think I got my answer. It turns out that both books 'All About Life and Death' are only the first volume of the original. 'New Dictionary of Life and ...

Re: Roadmap to Shodan

Can someone give a rank estimate that this book is aimed at? I think the title is very misleading. I highly doubt there is a book from 30k to 1d on tesuji, tsumego, or any of the other topics out there.

Which one would you pick?

Which one do you think is better? 'The 2014 Ten-Game Match between Le Sedol and Gu Li' or 'Commented Games by Lee Sedol'. The first one is from Kiseido, and the second one is from Baduktopia.
