Re: Professional kyu

The answer is rather simple: amazonPoD does not accept publishers as client.

The source of the problems in this book is my collection of about 600 go books.

The level of the problems is about upper dan level, i.e. 1d and 2d players will find them rather difficult.

Re: Kobayashi koichi, the secret of power

Hi Lichigo,

if you could be a bit more precise about "a kobayashi book" people may find it easier to answer whether they know or have read this book. I would be interested to learn which book exactly you have found.
