[ext] Tsumego Hero is an English language tsumego and tesuji problem site, active since at least 2018.

As of October 2021, it hosts about 6,100 problems.

Series were previously ranked in difficulty by a five star system, with more stars indicating a higher difficulty, as described in the table below. At some point since October, the rating system was changed, and is now a numerical range from 1 to 9, with 9 being the hardest.

Problems from Guanzi Pu, or, as they call it, Kanzufu, have been added.
