We publish all reviews; the coins for a review never depend on its rating. How reviews work
- To write a review, a learner must be enrolled in the course and have completed at least one lesson or topic. Earlier reviews needed enrolment only.
- We publish every review at once, whatever its rating, and remove only spam, insults and personal data.
- One review per course; its author can edit or delete it at any time.
- A learner gets 20 coins (the site's points) once per course, for a review with at least 30 characters of text, whatever the rating.
- The average is the plain mean of all ratings. Reviews in your language come first, then those other learners marked helpful (marks on newer reviews count for more), then those with text, newest first.
- Next to newer reviews we show the author's estimated rank on the site and how much of the course they had completed when they last wrote or edited the review.
- The course's teachers and our team may reply to a review publicly.
- To report a review, write to [email protected].
I bought the book Get Good at Joseki which focused on much of the same things - basic 3-4 joseki and pincers and knowing when to play each. I could barely get through the first few pages because of the limited explanations tied to problems. This lesson seemed to clarify everything I struggled with pulling from the book. I'd love to see this course expanded to include more problems and more joseki!
HelpfulQuite a short one, but a good intro to josekis. Although it doesn’t get much easier during the actual game;)
HelpfulExcellent. Thanks for the course!
HelpfulWonderful course. The many examples really helped me improve
HelpfulThe joseki course was good, concise, and I learned a lot. As constructive feedback, the explanations felt too brief, with many moves shown but little reasoning behind them. I would have preferred more focus on modern AI-recommended joseki instead of older variations that are rarely played today, making the course more practical and useful.
HelpfulGreat course. The examples really help to build up an understanding of which joseki to use.
HelpfulI find this one extremely useful. I was playing too automatically, i guess, so this course help me see things a little different. Thx
