Problems to use with GoGrinder
It's very easy to add problems to your collection - just put the SGF files in a subdirectory of the GoGrinder problems directory. You can organize them into folders however you like - this will change how they are shown in the selection dialog. Many of the collections below will have multiple problems stored in one SGF file. Use the Split command to separate them so that they can be used with GoGrinder.
