Graded Go Problems for Beginners Vol.3: Intermediate Problems (20-kyu to 15-kyu), Kano Yoshinori

Graded Go Problems For Beginners are the ideal books for players who have just learned the rules of Go, bridging the gap between a beginner’s book and some of the more advanced elementary books.

The almost 1,500 problems these four volumes contain thoroughly drill the reader in the fundamentals of the game. Once he has finished studying these four books, he will have mastered the elements of capturing and defending stones, life and death of groups, elementary tactics, the opening, and the endgame, thus laying a solid foundation for his future progress.

• Volume 1, Introductory Problems (30-kyu to 25-kyu)
• Volume 2, Introductory Problems (25-kyu to 20-kyu)
• Volume 3, Introductory Problems (20-kyu to 15-kyu)
• Volume 4, Introductory Problems (15-kyu and stronger)

Comments & Reviews

A few Dan players I know told me it was a 10 Kyu book not 20-15. So don’t worry if you can’t solve the problems. But the book helps.

I actually have the Chinese version of this book (set of two, this book and Volume 4). The problems are nowhere near 15-kyu or I’m further behind than I thought in Tsumego ability!

These problems are equivalent difficulty to the Korean Problem Academy found on GoBase. The beginning of this book is approximately equal to the harder problems in Academy Level 2 (7-kyu AGA) and the end of the book is probably equivalent to the middle of Level 3 (2-kyu AGA). I may not be exactly right on this, but I think I’m close…

One thing’s for certain. Mastery of this book (in fact, the entire series) is required to reach Dan levels.
