Wonderful course. The many examples really helped me improve
The 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.
Great course. The examples really help to build up an understanding of which joseki to use.
I find this one extremely useful. I was playing too automatically, i guess, so this course help me see things a little different. Thx
Favorite course so far. Very enlightening and inspiring. Good tips for thinking about direction.
nice
Very good and interesting
EXcellent course. The explanations are very well explained, and the exercises allign well with the lessons. I learned a lot in a short time.
Very good explanation of some joseki pattern, I learned a lot, it shows the depth of the game and shows how to respond depending on influence and territories.
Despite a shorter runtime of 60 minutes, this course certainly packs a punch!Chanhyuk Lee succeeds in conveying accurate joseki selections -- many of which I didn't even realise I had problems with. The "pause and answer" mechanism worked really well, providing an interactivity that makes the lessons stick.I hope to see more courses from this great teacher in the future.
Liked the course! Could have been a bit longer with many more examples. The ones given were very informative though!
I enjoyed this course for its simplicity and effectiveness. A course less on Joseki and on analyzing joseki in relation to the rest of the board which is a good expansion on the earlier joseki course by Go Magic. This way players can take one course and connect it to the next.
Great addition for practicing yoseki and getting a feel for when to use each one. Will probably rewatch!
great course, and enough repetition for memorizing
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.
this made me internalize the josekis better
it helps to identify situations
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.
Excellent. Thanks for the course!
