i can offer a rough estimate of the tsumego series:

vol 1 - ddk
vol 2 - 10k-5k
vol 3 - 5k-2k
vol 4 - 2k - 1d
vol 5 - 1d+
vol 6 - 2d+

Personally I've been through vol 1 to 4, and then again vol 1 to 3.
First pass:
vol 1 98% correct
vol 2 92% correct
vol 3 78% correct
vol 4 69% correct
vol 5 ? tried the first 40 problems but too many I did not know the shape.

Second pass:
vol 1 99% correct
vol 2 97% correct
vol 3 91% correct.

It's a very good series of common situations and the volumes work their way up, building upon previous shapes, that get repeated in different forms.

It was a great feeling to discover a long sequence that i 'saw' in one of my games a way to kill, which my opponent missed. It was the same sequence that I had done in this tsumego series.

I'm around 1kyu and am confident i will finish this series one day. Hopefully finish vol 6 with at least 66% correct.

I also have the tesuji series. Vol 1 and 4 seem rather easy, ddk-sdk. Vol 2 and 3 sdk level. Vol 5 and 6 around 2k - dan+ level

Hello nasdaq,

Thank you for your answer, I'm surprised the two series are so different in terms of level gap from vol 1 to 6 though!

At what level did you pruchase them?

Hi,

I got them at 1kyu level. I think they are suitable for all levels, from ddk to mid/high dan. a ddk will find all but vols 1 tough going though.

I think the tesuji books are more about learning all the different kinds of tesuji and endgame plays rather than ramping up through the difficulty levels.

Although the last 2 tesuji volumes seem harder.

I was wondering where you both were able to purchase your books. I thought about purchasing this series for myself but don't know where to look for purchasing.

I got them through a friend in China.
There's a shop selling them in Holland but they were too expensive compared to the chinese price(10 times).

If you know a chinese speaker you can order them easily but be careful with sellers.

Old thread indeed but still useful info. You can find them on amazon.cn in kindle format. They are cheap, less than 2 euros each.

I bought WEIQI 1000 PROBLEMS for kindle for about 2 euros too.
