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.

Personally I think this is a bit too advanced and I would prefer to see more about opening principles in general.
Fantastic introduction to basic joseki and how to use it depending on global position.
A great course! Very clear and helpful Thanks a lot!
A really nice short course. At ~10k I had some awareness of most of the josekis (and I think that's needed), but it pulled them together nicely and showed some new alternatives. It mostly kept things simple and at a feasible level of detail to remember and use. The quizzes followed nicely, mostly not too tricksy or beyond the course. I was left feeling more confident with the options.
Well done, makes choosing a joseki look very straightforward, was expecting a bit more depth, but as it turns out, these lessons are just what I need at my level.
Good course to guide joseki choice
Useful course. It gives you a better idea of the direction of the joseki, and what to do after a joseki.
Good course but maybe a little to simple.
I'm of an age and disposition where memorizing joseki patterns is just not going to happen so I really appreciate the approach used in this course of explaining the tactical logic behind pincers, kicks, keimas and kosumis when trying to figure out how to play a joseki.
This seems like a perfect sequel to Vadim's Joseki ABC course. Pretty simple to follow and learn, and teaches you very important josekis to deal with situations, however, I'd love it more if it dived a bit deeper into some of the variations.
Me parece una excelente instancia para aprender en qué circunstancias es mejor jugar tal o cual joseki. Es mejor jugar basado en el conocimiento que en la intuición. Tengo una apertura muy débil, por lo cual, aplicaré lo aprendido en mis próximas partidas. 😉
Very helpful and balanced, not too complicated, not too simple. One topic is explained from many sides. And the tigermouse is my favorite shape now =^..^=
I enjoy the course. Lee Chanhyuk 6dan delivers clear and methodical instruction on positional judgement in the early and late opening. After this lesson you'll have a great sense of the direction of play inherent with each of the common joseki we've learned and will think twice the next time you blindly choose a joseki.
Simple but good. Personally would appreciate a bit more depth in the more complex joseki, but perhaps that’s left for another course.
This course is good as a follow-up to Joseki ABCs, or also on its own. It teaches some simple 3-4 and 4-4 joseki and gives many quizzes on which direction to choose, looking at the whole board, along with a few examples from pro games. This is a good course if you struggle with what direction to pick, or if you find yourself playing josekis with no thought to the rest of the board.
Хороший курс. Узнал новые джосеки и научился их правильно применять.
Узнали новые ходы! Курс доступен, понятен даже совсем новичкам. Большое спасибо за отличный курс!
For some players, this course may be a little too easy, for others too difficult (as you can read in the reviews). For me, at least, it's just right. Full marks!
