@Oren, what was their advice exactly?

@Ruben, under 10s for most problems, but don't force yourself to go too fast. You'll notice you naturally get faster as you become more familiar with shapes and patterns. After awhile you'll see the strongest move instantly and your reading will be faster because you make better use of miai and shapes that you know the conclusion of already (e.g. probably most people don't have to read every move when they atari a second line stone to the edge of the board - it's like that). You'll still get plenty of practise reading move by move as you take on new, harder problems and you'll refine your understanding of patterns when you make assumptions that don't work in special cases (e.g. shortage of liberties).

Spend some time on the problems and try to figure it out. When you're done look at the answers. The idea of getting problems to study by yourself with no answers to look at afterwards seems rather pointless to me when there are plenty of good problem books with answers out there.

But you do realize that we all here emphasised this very point ourselves? ^^ I thought you meant exactly the opposite :o

I also thought oren was defending the reverse. A very odd day

Maybe oren was lost by the construction of my English. But essentially they are talking about the same thing.
