About 101weiqi Daily Eight (每日八题)

101weiqi is a go training site with a big library of problems, books, online play and classes. Its Daily Eight page (每日八题, shown as Daily problems in English) picks eight problems from that library each day and lists them under the date.

Each problem is tagged with a rank, starting around 12 kyu and rising through single-digit kyu to 1 dan and 4 dan and above. Most are life-and-death or tactical positions where you play the first move for Black or White and must find the sequence that lives, kills or wins the fight. Every visitor sees the same eight for a given date.

The page keeps previous days below the current one, so missed sets are easy to catch up on. The interface is available in Chinese, English, Japanese and Korean.

The Daily Eight suits go players who want a short, steady habit of reading practice, and the spread of ranks makes it useful both for improving kyu players and for stronger players warming up.
