Reviews

Anonymous: The problems in these three books are substantially identical to those in Graded Go Problems for Beginners Volume 3. Although some modifications have been made to the problems (often the orientation of the stones have been changed or the non-essential stones are a little different), my random (and admittedly very limited) sampling failed to find a single problem in this 3-volume series that did not come from GGPFB Vol. 3.

Similarly, the problems in the Beginner (= GGPFB Vol. 2) and Advanced (= GGPFB Vol. 4) volumes of this series also appear to be taken directly from the Graded Go Problems for Beginners Series. I do not know if this is an authorized version of the GGPFB series or not.
