	How much time should we spend on tsumego? - Go Discussions
		Tsumego is probably the only thing I have studied now for almost 20 years.
		50% tsumego sounds about right for a beginner since they don't have much else to study and increasing reading ability is very important early on.
		Tsumego is also the only type of study that will remain valuable during your whole go career.

	Tsumego - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tsumego is the Japanese term for a go problem based on life-and-death.
		Tsumego problems are common in newspaper columns; the usual format is of a position set up on some delimited area of the board, and the instruction reads something like 'Black to play and kill White'.
		Seki is life, from the point of view of tsumego; on the other hand achieving ko for life or death is considered failure, unless the problem actually states this as objective.

	Sensei's Library: Tsumego
		Tsumego, a Japanese go term adopted into English, are life and death problems.
		We should understand this as a (mostly) local problem, as opposed to fuseki or chuban problems where several options exist.
		Most professional players and top amateur players agree that solving tsumego is the best way to improve.

	Sensei's Library: Tsumego/ Discussion
		Study of these problems is also beneficial, but the great benefit of tsumego study comes from improving your perception of life-and-death status of groups and improving your reading ability.
		Professional tsumego only leaves one correct choice (two at most) of moves that give the player an advantage.
		jfc: while is is universally acknowledged that developing good tsumego skills is an essential component of becoming a strong player, attributing the recent korean dominance of the international Go scene to their greater attention to tsumego is, at best, conjecture.

		In fact, the specific "set" of tsumego I was thinking of was the very first few beginner problems of Cho Chikun's L&D Encyclopedia (available here).
		I hated tsumego and shied away from anything but the easiest problems (and even those once I reached a total mastery of them).
		Note that building Tsumego intuition is good, but this can be done without cheating yourself out of the rest of the problem - this also doesn't apply to VERY simple "center of three" problems that involve only basic vital points - though these problems must also be understood.

	Python Entry at ICFP'98 Contest (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		All in all, it is unclear the use of the TsumeGo code itself was very beneficial ; but in anycase the general framework (GNUmakefile.python, set of rules for compiling from *.i to python modules) based on SWIG, and previous experience about SWIG, was very useful.
		The TsumeGo base program had this intermediate class of code both in Python and recoded in C++ (with a speedup between 3 to 10) ; and I initially planned to do the same for Cobra.
		In reality, because of time mismanagement, the result was that I coded half of the intermediate code in C++ and half in Python, resulting in gaining the drawbacks of both: C++ slowness of development/maintenance and complexity (for hash-tables, lists, and object lifetime management), and slowness of Python interpreter.

		I"m looking into creating a tsumego program (standalone for now) according to the specs at http://www.tsumego.net/tsumego.php -- I don"t know any Java or the like, so this will be a learning curve for me, but I would like to learn some Java with Apache RPC (http://ws.apache.org/xmlrpc/index.html).
		Perhaps someone who wishes to run a dedicated UGS tsumego server would be able to do that...

		Despite of a lot of efforts for building state of the art programs, Go is still resistant to current AI techniques, even for solving subproblems such as Life and Death, or tsume-Go.
		TsumeGo Explorer uses df-pn(r), our new search algorithm that improves the depth-first proof-number search algorithm.
		In empirical tests, TsumeGo Explorer outperforms GoTools, which has been the undisputedly best tsume-Go solver for the last 15 years.

	Sensei's Library: Meta Discussion
		There are so many tsumego problems on SL that I thought that there was a page for tsumego problems in general.
		Those BQM tsumego problems are usually the problems whose solutions are unknown to the poster, or whose solutions have some parts which the poster cannot understand.
		We already have a "tsumego from games" series, but perhaps the idea of those is that the poster already knows the answer.

	Alejo's Tenuki
		Obviously, this takes a certain amount of time, that is why I'm going to start doing it at a little scale: working on 10 tsumegos each day.
		I'd give up solving 50 tsumegos daily after the few days, so this is an appropiate amount for me, without being to much, it's better than none at all.
		Studying tsumego I expect to be able to calm down my nerves when facing such situations, see if I can play a little bit more relaxed and think twice (at least) on what I would play as an automated move.

		In this downtime, I've been practicing tsumego and thinking a lot about the fundamentals of go (cutting, connecting, etc).
		When I have time, I do the 30k and 25k time trials on goproblems, which seem to help me keep at my regular playing level.
		I don't know about other beginners but, after practicing tsumego, I seem to treat almost every position on the goban like it's some sort of life-and-death problem and start to ignore the big plays.

		In "explore" mode, you can add and remove stones to the pattern by clicking on board positions.
