Yang Yilun's Ingenious Life and Death Puzzles, by
Yang Yilun. Two volumes. Yutopian Y14, Y15; 1996, 1997.
This is a collection of 200 life-and-death problems, broken up
into Elementary, Junior, Senior, and Advanced sections. I haven't
done more than glance at it; the only comment that I have so far
is that even the elementary problems seem somewhat difficult, so I
wouldn't read these books until you're a strong kyu player.
(Indeed, the foreword suggests that the first two sections are for
1-5 kyu and the other sections are for dan players, and even then
could be difficult.)
