Life In 19x19

I'd also second the WBaduk app and the SmartGo/SmartGo Kifu app as pretty neat ways to do tsumego and get instant feedback. That being said, it's quite easy (for me at least) to base my answers on intuition alone and run through the problems without reading since I get that immediate feedback ...

Hello all,

I was just wondering what the player strength range was on Kaya. I'm a fairly weak player and I've been interested in checking out Kaya for some time but I'm not sure how good it would be for me or the other players on Kaya if everyone was much higher level than me. I believe I'm around ...
