Cho Chikun’s
encyclopedia of life and death part second – intermediate problems
motto: “It is a matter of life and death, a road either to safety or to ruin. Hence it is a subject of inquiry which can on no be neglected.” Sun Tzu: The Art of War
preface: This is a collection of almost three thousand problems from Encyclopedia of life and death by Cho Chikun. The problems come without solution because of two particular reasons: first, I think we can learn more by actually solving the problem, trying all the possible variations; and second, the solutions are copyrighted. It is always black to move, so I only show pictures without distracting text around. In the second part, you can find about nine hundred problems for strong kyu players, but also dan players will benefit from going through them – dan player should get the solution in less than a minute, so he is likely to spend about twelve hours solving all the problems. I wish you enjoyment and improving in the wonderful game of go, weichi, baduk, or whatever you like to call it. ikusat 27.11.2004
