Invincible!
I’m having some trouble with the １２３大家來解詰棋1000題. I’m stuck in the 700s - the 5 step problems are giving me some difficulties, so I’ve decided to start over again from the beginning. This will be my third restart, but I’m not too concerned - most of the problems are still difficult enough for me to get something out of them!
The picture doesn’t really have much to do with anything, but I like it. Took this from my car just before the toll booth at the Newport Pell Bridge.
I’m also reading commented games in Invincible! My visualization skill has increased significantly so only the toughest of situations are hard for me to see in this book. There are typically about 50 moves per diagram in Invincible. I really like the sanjubango between Shusaku and Ota Yuzo. I’ve read through 5-6 of those so far.
I’ll also note that I’m not reading Invincible in order. The beginning games, where Shusaku takes a handicap, are less useful to me because of the shorter commentary and bigger diagrams.

Zeke. Can you give the ISBN number for the Tsume Go book mentioned in this entry. Where can one obtain it?

Apologies of this posts twice. My first attempt didn’t show on your blog.
Can you tell me the ISBN numbers for the Tsume Go book you mention in this entry. Where can one buy it on the internet?

The ISBN of the book is 9578642288, but I’m told that the book 1001 Life & Death problems is nearly identical. I purchased this while on business in Taiwan… it’s really an excellent series of problems!
Sorry about the loss of your first post - I get a very large number of spam comments and sometimes miss a few real ones!
