On Yi Ch'ang-ho's website - [ext] Java applet with Life and death problems
You can use the java applet and try to solve the problems even without understanding korean. Select a problem on the list and click on the first button to the left for starting. When you think you have found the solution, click on the board and if the stone appears, you have found the correct move. If you can't find it, click on the third button.
