Fearless Invasions
How many games were lost because of invasions! All of that is because invasions mostly happen in the middle-game and that part of the game can be scary and confusing. In this course you will learn not only to invade confidently exactly when it’s necessary, but also to handle your opponent’s invasions with ease.
You will discover some of the most standard invasion sequences, basic principles that you can trust and follow and some colorful invasion examples from pro players and AI.
Suitable for: 12–4k. For those who are well familiar with the basics of Go.

"A beautiful course full of magic — amazing, enjoyable video editing that I truly enjoyed. Vadim is known for his great courses, but I have some constructive criticism. There were many times where he'd use transitions without explaining them — suddenly he'd say things like 'Extend' or 'Black Extend' with no explanation at all, and we didn't understand anything in deep
rly good course
👍
excellent introduction to invasion principles
Great course to introduce better invasion techniques. Thanks.
An excellent course, thanks Vladim and the team. My favorite course so far. I learned a lot.
I learned a lot and had fun at the same time. My game keeps improving. Thanks !!
Extraordinary teacher, the learning proceeds with meaningful steps towards focused, grounded understanding
Excellent information for intermediate players
Great course! Excelent content and teaching style
Whenever you start a course with Vadim, you know you're in for a good time, and this one was no exception. I think this is the course I've had the most fun with! Everything was explained beautifully! Magic subscription is worth every penny.
Excellent course. Although invasions tend to be messy uncertain arrangements, this course provides good heuristics on how to evaluate and how to implement in steps an invasion. I am actually surprised that a handful of principles can be applied quite widely and simplify decision making in the most complex parts of the game. I think this course would be good for most SDK.
This was a REALLY hard course for me. I understood everything Vadim was saying, but it was so very new to me that I failed miserably at the exercises. That being said, after erring, it was clear how the new concepts I learned in the videos fit the puzzles and games I missed. I feel much more confident, but will definitely rewatch.
Brilliant course, as a ~10k player I've learned so many concrete things that I'll be able to use in my games. Going to do a full re-watch of the course to make sure it all sinks in.
The first parts gave a very good overview on standard invasion management. And the “No Fear” parts gave solid bases for more complex situations
great course
Very insightful.
This course is an excellent summary of the many kinds of invasions one can do, and seeing all the variations that are possible even makes me, a 3-4 level player who is bad at invading, more confident in invading and handling them.
Great course, covers a variety of topics related to invading without losing interest or quality
Lovely course. At least now I have a faint idea how to invade. Will need to rewatch it a few times for shure 😉
