I don't mind doing tsumego, but I enjoy in-game situations more. Since I've been playing from stone one, I generally have better recognition when it comes to the problems that surface. It's easier for my brain to dissect the flow of the stones if I witnessed the play from the beginning, whereas with tsumego you're given a situation and are expected to solve it from there. I don't mind this. I just think it's more natural/easy to spot problems in game than in tsumego.

As someone who has just started working on learning to really play go, I don't mind problems, In fact I enjoy them quite a bit on sites like goproblems.com. So far, the biggest problem I have with them is that the problems give me a hint at what I should be looking for (a capture, killing a group, staying alive, etc...), when I am actually playing, well, I am still working on knowing what problem to solve with a given move :).

Well, I like tsumego, but it would be much more fun if I see (and read) it the right way in game-situations :D
