Notes

Anonymous: This collection is a excellent source of material for GoGrinder.

^[1]If this is true, then this must be a translation of the original Japanese version. Does anyone know what the original is?

The booklet was once found on eBay (sometimes sold as Go weiqi board book with 1320 Problems) by seller goplayer2006. He is Zhen Zhu (震 主) - former KGS teacher, alias hotdog. Zhen has occasionally sold other Chinese go books, but has not done so since mid-2012 (Nov. 2012).

maruseru: It also looks like 1001 Life And Death Problems took a lot, if not the majority, of problems from this collection.

Velobici: The problems in this book are more difficult than those in 1001 Life And Death Problems. 1001 Life And Death Problems is a translation of a Nihon Ki-in book. This books contains five different types of problems, whereas 1001 Life And Death Problems is life and death only.
