Life In 19x19

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

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?

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

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.

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.

I can tell that the journal is helping. It is motivating me to pick up my tsumego book more often. I am up to problem 800. Only hard black to kill problems remain. On another note I had an interesting experience solving problems today. As I was reading, i saw a variation an instantly dismissed it as a possibility without thinking about. The I paused to wonder what had just happened. I looked at the position more carefully, because I was unsure why I had dismissed it. I realized that there was a shortage of liberties, that I recognized without thinking about it. weird, it feels good though .

I also watched Leyleth play a game for a bit. I like his style, I am looking forward to playing with him. Its on Leyleth

And I sure want a rematch! Just give me one more chance to kick your butt

Actually, I was very surprised by your level. At first, I thought I could beat you while making dinner... Soon, the steak became my second priority. In the end I lost to a better player than me. All I have to say is: Not at all 8k

It's hard to say, but it was the first time I had felt this thirst for winning while playing online. It's nice to see a good player around here. Was starting to get desperate over the 6 kyus!

I think we are now rival (or something). I agree we should play alot together. It will help us both. Last one to shodan is a rotten egg!

I don't feel so good to great today. I played a game, but I only won because my opponent let me kill him. T I don't feel like I deserved to win. his was my first game since my match with Leyleth because I have been busy. I finished my homework early today, so I solved some more tsumego. I am up to problem 865 in 1001 life and death problems. They are definitely getting harder so i am spending more time on each problem. I don't think my new books will arrive by the time I finish 1001 life and death problems, so I am planning on starting over again. Tomorrow is my last day of school, so I will have time to play alot over vacation . I just don't really feel great so I am probably going to go to bed soon.

You won only because your opponent made a major mistake? Don't feel bad. Instead, train harder and come back to crush the guy!
