Go Puzzle Sheets
This page gives some of the problems from Paul Smith's Cambridge Go Puzzle Book, which are used to form the BGA's Certificate sheets for levels 1 to 3.
The entire collection has been compiled into a single PDF by Matt Noonan, who has kindly made it available on his website. Below, you can also access individual sheets in ASCII format (ideal for previewing, no download needed) as well as older graphic versions in PDF. Alternatively, you can download a zip of all doc versions.
