Book Description:
All professionals agree! The fastest was to becoming strong at Go is to consistently study tesuji and life and death problems.
But they also advise you not to study difficult problems. Easy problems, they say, are the most beneficial, even for dan level players. In other words, quantity of problems studied rather than difficulty is the key to becoming a strong player. In this way, you will familiarize yourself with the key moves in all kinds of patterns, thereby developing your tesuji intuition and zeroing in on the vital points in your own games.
Now the perfect book for studying tesuji is available. Aimed at the player who has just learned the rules and played a few games, Get Strong at Tesuji contains 534 basic problems and is guaranteed to develop your tesuji intuition to the level of a dan player. The problems are divided into three levels of difficulties: easy (25-kyu to 10-kyu), Intermediate (10-kyu to 5-kyu), and advanced (5-kyu to 1-kyu). There are also a few dan level problems toward the end of the book so that you can judge your progress after tackling all the other problems.
This book is part 6 of the Get Strong at Go Series.

A must have !
In my opinion this is a good book for more advanced players (5k+).
I find the answers are not always descriptive enough and I think the problems are harder than the Book Description makes them out to be.
I am a european 3k and I struggle with some of the basic Tesuji problems, though perhaps that just means I’m rubbish at Tesuji
