but I don't see any improvement in my reading ability.
It may be too soon to see much improvement.
The ones I couldn't do before I started doing all those Go problems, I still can't do.
Maybe the problems are too hard. What percentage are you solving? If they are the right level you should solve about 50% of them.
So am I doing them wrong somehow?
Possibly. Unfortunately, little guidance is given on to how to solve problems. Here is something I wrote in this thread:
viewtopic.php?f=12&t=6091Here is what Segoe Kensaku, one of the world's top players in the 20th century, recommended. First, try to solve the problem by looking only at the diagram. If you cannot, then set up the problem with a real board and stones, and try to solve it in your head. (My hint: Try to set up the problem from memory, looking at the original only to check.) If you cannot, then play the problem out to solve it. If you still cannot, then look at the answer.
And no, I'm not looking at the solutions
Maybe that is one of your problems. I know that people say don't look at the answers these days, but Segoe recommended doing so if you can't work out the answer on the board. Also, to quote myself again:
Here is what Cho U, today's God of Tsumego, says. When he was a kid, he looked at the answers to tsumego problems. That is not a bar.
The most difficult ones for me are those corner problems, where there are so many open spaces that there are just too many options to consider :/
That's easy. Start with corners with at most 6 open points, and move up to 7 and 8 open points. If you see more than 3 candidates for the first move, the problem is probably too hard for you. There is no shame in skipping it and coming back to it when you are ready.
