Books for a low SDK

Post by cocacola »

Hi guys,

I've recently taken a break from go after hitting a wall. Now I'm back and ready to reach shodan, but I need study materials. I'm 3k in strength. I've read Tesuji, Life and Death, and The Endgame, as well as Attack and Defense. I've gone through Direction of Play. Any good Tsumego or Tesuji books for my rank that you guys prefer?

Thanks

If you are looking for something for now and into the future I'd recommend Kiseido's Graded Go Problems for Dan Players volumes one and Two. They 300 Life-and-Death Problems 5-kyu to 3-dan and 300 Tesuji Problems 5-kyu to 3-dan respectively.

Over at Sensei's Library I've written down a list of books which made me stronger. You can have a look and see if something suits you. Link in my signature.

The list is a bit sparse on recent books though.
