Recording Tsumegos using SGF file format

Hello,

Is there standard way of recording tsumegos (problem and discussion) on an SGF file?

Is each tsumego a variation? Is it better to have them in separate files?
(In this case, is it common for Go software to open many "games" at once?)

I am sorry if the question is ill-posed, I am new here, still learning the etiquette.

Hi tassion, Welcome. :)

I think you're free to use an SGF any way you want. Enjoy! :mrgreen:

Thank you. I was just wondering whether there was a common practice.

I guess then I will experiment and see what's more comfortable.

You often see them with separate problems in each of the four corners but I would not say that is standard. As Ed says, whatever you want is just fine.

std,
i think most common is 1 problem/puzzle in 1 .sgf file, with the main branche showing the best answer and variations in the game tree showing unsuccesful attempts
