The Idea The goal of Tsumego Dragon is to create a place to do tsumego in a way that I felt was missing in the online community. Many sites have tsumego and large libraries, but I found I could never find the problems that I was looking for. It was almost all Life & Death problems. The Problem While I feel that Life & Death problems are important, I think there are many different types of problems to learn from aside from just those two. I really liked the Chinese problem site, 101 WeiQi. We had a spreadsheet with all the different categories translated into English. Recently however, the site has been put behind a pay wall. While I am a big fan of paid services, it was difficult to walk a random person through the sign up and payment process for a different language's site. My Solution I felt this site was something we lacked in the western community. So I decided to build it myself. Tsumego Dragon is a tsumego site which primarily focuses on categorizing problems in an educational way. It is still in its infant stages so there is a lot of work to do. But the starting point is there. We are already at 2,500+ problems on the site! With 27 categories sorting them all. Thanks to my current skill set, I am able to make the app browser based so it will work on all mobile devices as well as any desktop system. I felt it was very important to make it as versatile as possible. In addition to this, I am laying the groundwork to support multiple languages. I feel that there are many other countries out there that are likely struggling with the same problems I described above. I hope that this app will help many Go players around the world improve their game. Find Out More You can check out the site here. It is still in its very early stages. So I am actively seeking feedback on user experience to influence future development and features. Thanks to the current user base, I have already gone through several different ideas many of which I have shut down due to them not helping push my ideal vision. (An app to improve players skills.) I hope you and others will find this app helpful and educational!
