Collection overview
There are four sets of problems with an increasing level:

Select the level in the first column to solve it from the start or enter the desired number in the last column and press the tab key to go to a specific problem.

The recommended way to study is to solve these kind of problems during a half hour or one hour. It's the way they use it in Korea, every day. When you finish a level, you have to start again, 4 or 5 times.

Originally there are no answers in these books. Gobase gives answers because there are people curious to know about baduk without a specific attention for their level or their strength. But if you want to improve: never go to read answers, try to understand by yourself... and if you want an advice on what you find, you cansend me E-mailwith your solution and then I will tell you if it's good or not.
