Life In 19x19

Okay I know they have Go problems relating to life and death, fuseki, and such like that. But do they have situational problems where you have to figure out where the best place to play on the board will be: Whether it saves a group of stones, whether it leads to the death of a stone, whether it cuts into your opponent's moyo, or just adds to your own.

I guess what I'm asking for, in essence, is a guide. I know it'd be imperfect. But is there anything like that on the netz for free?

Attack and Defense by Davies and Ishida is a good investment and covers most topics you're worried about and then some. For free though? Best I can say is positional judgement in my experience is best built by well... experience. Review SGFs of your own games, ask a stronger player to review them, submit to the go teaching ladder http://gtl.xmp.net/ or look at other reviews of players around your strength or just stronger.

That link appears to be nothing but a blank go board with nothing clickable.

You need to choose a problem set on the right, then switch to the appearing "Questions" tab on the right and choose a puzzle there.

For free, I don't know.

If you want to spend some money (I think it's worth it), you can look at "What's Your Rating" in the Kiseido Digital Bookshelf.

Alrighty. Thanks for the help.
