Go Life-and-Death Manual - The Ultimate Tool for Studying Go Life-and-Death Problems
The “Forget-Worries Life-and-Death Manual” is a cornerstone of Go education and the most powerful life-and-death problem library available today. It contains over 40,000 problems, ranging from beginner to professional levels, and includes classical life-and-death problems from ancient times to modern professional-level puzzles. It features renowned collections such as Yang Theory, Tianlong Diagram, Guanzi Pu, Xuanxuan Qijing, Essence of the Game, and Hand of the Devil. This manual is your ideal companion for improving your Go skills and an essential guide from amateur 10 kyu to amateur 5 dan.

Every Go player dreams of rapidly improving their skills, but achieving this requires adhering to the scientific principles of gradual progress. There are no shortcuts or quick fixes. If there is one secret to improving at Go, it is this: solve as many life-and-death problems as possible.

When it comes to solving life-and-death problems, many find it daunting. It can be monotonous and challenging (similar to solving math problems, which also train calculation skills). Without enough practice, calculation ability suffers, leading to significant losses in games. If you cannot discern life-and-death situations, losing a large group can cost you the game. If you fail to read life-and-death accurately, you’ll either leave critical areas unprotected or waste moves reinforcing unnecessary points, resulting in a disadvantage. Without a solid grasp of life-and-death, it becomes difficult to play confidently, making skill improvement a pipe dream.

Approaching life-and-death problems requires a methodical strategy. Start with problems appropriate to your current skill level and progress through beginner, intermediate, and advanced stages. Different levels have different requirements, but the key is steady improvement. Ideally, solve problems suitable for your level repeatedly until you master them. Consistency is crucial: beginners can aim to solve 10 problems per day, intermediates 5, and advanced players 1-2. There’s an old saying: “Practice makes perfect.” Daily practice of the fundamentals is essential. Most importantly, stay consistent. Solving 2,000 to 3,000 problems in a year builds a solid foundation.

The essence of Go lies in calculation, and solving life-and-death problems is the best way to enhance this skill. Calculation leaves no room for shortcuts. Solve problems seriously, without looking at answers, and complete them independently. Persistence and daily practice will lead to faster improvement.

Pros and cons of 围棋死活宝典-单机版围棋入门围棋练习经典版 app for iPhone and iPad

围棋死活宝典-单机版围棋入门围棋练习经典版 app good for

Was looking for a good teaching app for Go and found this gem. Really happy about the simple exercises, and how you can start learning from situations right away. It is difficult to know what to do without an English translation though.
It is a great app for people wanting to study Go. I like when frogman calls me failure.
Although there are glitches here and there, I still can use it to learn the game easily.
Lots of good problems from beginner to professional. Just cheaply built... But its free so I shouldnt complain
The app gives you progressively harder situations to solve. Pretty easy to use. Available in English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean.
Most of the text is in Japanese, so I miss out on most of the instruction. But as a refresher and a set of exercises, it is good.

Some bad moments

The problems are good for beginners, but the Engrish probably does more to keep this game shrouded in mystery even than the general lack of a decent network like chess.com etc.
The English translations can use some work and the entire ui feels old and quickly done. Not the best but its the best I can find.
Theres tons of problems but even if you set the language to English the text above the problems as displayed in the preview remains the same. Also the English instructions dont sound very natural.
It seems to be a good practice program for beginners but most of the problems are locked. And u have to buy the application for those questions(%95 of them are locked). And when i come to those questions, the program says purchase or restore purchase. When i click on restore purchase nothing happens and questions are still locked. And i had my credit card billed so beware.
A simple concept that lets you improve by solving Go! Puzzles. I just wish there was more explanation to what is going on.
I learn more and more about go with each lesson. Thank You.
