Tsumego
Keywords: Life & Death, Go term
Literally, tsumego means filling the stones. We should understand this as a (mostly local) problem with one solution as opposed to fuseki or chuban problems, where several options exist. Several go books exclusively consist of tsumego. Typical examples include: Life and death tsumego, connection tsumego, and ladder tsumego. (Although the latter is not really local, there is only one solution). Solving tsumego often requires a tesuji. An advice, shared by almost all Go authorities - i.e. professional players and top amateur players - is that solving tsumego is the best way to improve. You can refer to HowAndWhatToStudy to verify this. It is also important to know How to approach a life and death problem. See also Beginners Guide to Tsumego and tsumego conventions.
