http://cgi.ebay.com/Go-Board-Game-Go-Pr ... 41503f1a30). There are some life and death problems too, but the majority of the problems (maybe 70-75%) are tesuji problems. Probably more than half of the problems would be pretty easy for a 4 kyu (but there is something to being said for doing a lot of easy problems quickly), but that still leaves several thousand problems to practice on. The interface is reasonably attractive and seems to work well. I don't normally like doing problems on the computer, but I use this program to warm up with easy problems (maybe around 100 problems in 10 to 15 minutes) before turning to harder problems, and this seems to work well.
Thanks! I bought the program (lol @ the price), I had to request a new one from goplayer2006 since the one in the link was already sold (as if it's possible to run out of programs that are just mailed to the buyer). As usual I love the problems but hate the interface

The program is an English translation (actually, translation is stretching it) of 围棋级位测试 6000题 (Go rank test 6000 question) that some of us discussed on gd a while back.

thinking about Tesuji I remember sitting at the egc 2009 with Josef Renner, solving very difficult tesuji problems. Josef brought a japanese tesuji book back from a trip to japan several years ago. At the EGC I was 4k and I think this was the greatest book I've ever read (ok it was japanese so basically I just viewed the diagrams
)!
If I remember correctly it was a very old tesuji collection, renewed by go seigen(?). He gave me the amazon.jp link afterwards but I lazed it away :/
I remember there was a goban on the cover... maybe I'll be able to find some hints when I'm at home!

Could it be Segoe Tesuji Dictionary? There are quite a few tsumego compilations by Go Seigen, but as far as tesuji books go, I think this might be the only collection.
