Have you ever studied joseki, only to wonder… “Why didn’t it work in my game?”

If that sounds familiar, this course is for you.

In this course, you won’t just memorize patterns—you’ll learn how to choose the right joseki based on the situation. We’ll explore how to respond to different approaches, and how to decide which variation fits your strategy, board position, and opponent. By the end, you’ll have the flexibility to adapt like a chameleon — selecting the best move for each unique situation with confidence.

Suitable for: 15–6 kyu

Great and concise advice that is very usable in games. However, for this price I would have expected several other examples/situations such as high approach 4-4 as well.

I really like the layout of the videos with introduction to the theory and then some questions. The pacing felt fast at times, but the information was super helpful. Great course.

Watching (and rewatching) how different board positions determine the best joseki helped make learning joseki 'click' for the first time. I could not recommend this material more highly to beginners.

Great content, I can now understand the idea behind a joseki and by extension the flow of my game. But star point still a mystery for me.

Really liked this course -- I particularly liked the quiz options amidst the lectures and the kind, clear explanations. I found it very helpful!

I was a bit worried if it won't be too hard as I'm about 15 kyu but I really enjoyed it and learnt a lot. Good job! 🙂

I like the quiz

Excellent course. Enjoyed the detailed discussion of the why's and when's various options allow. Much better than the "this is joseki" without giving understanding of how this helps one's development on the board.

Without looking at thousands of different possibilities, which I could never remember, Chanhyuk Lee manages to to give great practical advice on how to deal with approaches to the corner. Three or four approaches with three to four possible responses each. Very helpful!

Very clear and pedagogical way to show the meaning behind joseki variations. Loved the examples from pro games

Didn't expect such a short course to provide so much value. Also, this is a subject already discussed at length in several books, but the way this short course condenses all the fundamental josekis with both traditional and modern variations into a simple selection scheme is something I was still lacking. Very good short and clear course.

This course did a great job discussing variations for each corner joseki situation relative to different context on the board.
