Western Tsumego Challenge

I’ve attempted to solve 1164 problems:

524 on tsumego-hero.com ,
550 on 101weiqi.com/guan,
50 on 101weiqi.com/training (until the paywall blocked me, dang it, it’s a great feature), and
40 problems in Baduk Doctor’s Road to Be Dan Player serie.

Since I’ve seen @jlt’s and @ßàbå_ķî’s posts about Shin Jinseo’s daily routine and kifu study I started reviewing pro games too.
I merged it with joseki learning: I look for one I want to learn on ps.waltheri.net, gather a few recent games in which it was played on Go4Go and review 'em on OGS/ a rl board.

Besides having fun watching the professionals struggle and strife I feel that I actually get a lot out of it: Direction, big points, urgency, sharp sequences and the effort to not waste a move: All the good stuff is there plenty.

…and plenty is what I need in regards of my bad record over the last days, and the plateau I’m hovering on since months lmao.

So far there is no tangible progress, except for the method I’m acquiring - which is certainly worth it in the long term.
