Do it

[speedchase]

Really, they are that good? I guess I will then. thanks for the recommendation

[RBerenguel]

I love the first volume so far: they are demanding, but not enough to make me give up, they also offer interesting moves and shapes to learn from.

Where are they, LCH L&D and Tesuji, being sold? I can't seem to find them anywhere.

[RBerenguel]

I borrowed from a friend who happens to visit Korea sometimes, so I can't really tell. Probablt tchan001 can help with this

[SoDesuNe]

The only online-shop I know who sells those books is http://mohsart.se/en/.

[speedchase]

Thanks for the help, but I already have a source.

Edit: on second thought these are much cheaper. How is shipping to USA?

Thank you! I had never heard of this site and they have a lot of good books. Unfortunately, the LCH L&D and Tesuji vols. 1-3 of each set are out of stock.

Speedchase, you said you have a source for these. Where are you planning to purchase them from?

[speedchase]

I found them on Abebooks.com but they are expensive...

[Dazz]

Thanks. I will take a look. I have also found Abebooks expensive when I have looked for other titles in the past. It didn't occur to me to look on there for these problem books though.

[speedchase]

To be honest the books themselves are cheap, but shipping costs from china is killer.

So... today was... interesting.

lots of school work so I only did 25 problems today, which is still pretty good. I think a total of less than a minute each, and i got near two wrong and near two more right but not the best variation because i have 1 point less territory or something like that. other than that I think I got them all right except for disagreements about the opponents strongest follow up...

Anyway I also made a large book purchase today including lee chang'ho tsumego and tesuji books. I'm excited . I am also looking forward too tomorrow, When I hope to solve more tsumego.

onwards and upward,

my life has calmed down a bit i guess, at least for the time being. well I solved alot more tsumego yesterday and today (mostly today). Now I am up to 640. Earlier today I really started working on slowing down my reading, and it is getting better. I spent well over 1.5 hours today maybe almost 2. I got 2 wrong and 2 no answers. I also read a little bit of tesuji. Reading Attack and defense has slowed down but I plan to start again tonight. I am also hoping to go to bed early and get some more sleep.

Today was a great day for go.

I did more than 100 problems from 1001 life death problems, read a couple pages of tesuji and played to serious games. I am in the hardest of the problems now, so It is getting tougher. I am slowing down and getting a smaller percentages correct, but I still get above 75%. Of the two games I played The first was an even game against a 7kyu. He had to leave, but I was ahead when he did, and I hope to resume tomorrow. The second was also an even game against a 6kyu. I wasn't very focused but I still managed a win. I feel like I am recovering from my mini-rut, and my go feels strong.

This is the game:

I am going to bed early tonight (after I review my games) because I have been overtired recently.
