Good introduction to the basics of go on a 19x19 board
This is a good introduction to the fundamentals of Go
That was a great course teaching many fundamentals in easy digestable chunks. If I have to improve on some of the quizzes - having more explanation why the wrong answer is wrong would be great. There were in only a few places but it was pretty educational. In any case keep up the good work!
An appropriate step up from the 13x13 course.
This was a great course that helped me to improve my skills from the opening all to the endgame. I especially liked the sections about life and death of groups including the nakade shapes. Now I am playing much more confidently when I have to respond to invasions. Imho a course that helps every double digit kyu to improve.
Great way to learn the fundamentals
All important concepts in one course with nice exercises to reinforce the lesson. I also like the style of the videos, the explanations are very easy to understand, stones are placed slowly so you can think yourself and lots of cuts to shorten the unnecessary stuff like removing captured stones and rewind a variation. I also love the questions in between that you can answer youself on the go board
Great course! I've got 18 kyu after finishing it + only first part of the skill tree! P.S. Endgame problems are top, helped a lot to develop focus/attention
I like the way Vadim structures his thoughts. He is able to talk about complex things with simple words. My favorite part of the course is review of a real game with Vadim telling about main ideas of the moves. I would definitely like to see more videos or courses with detailed games reviews from Vadim. Thank you!
As good as the 9x9 and 13x13 ones. Excellent!
necessary course after you've done the rules and basic for 13x13 THANKS FOR THIS!
Great course! Now I somehow have to remember all that information...
it's fine
Vadim is just the best.
Once again, an excellent course! These lessons helped me build confidence to tackle 19x19 games. Vadim explains the content in such an accessible way; he is a great teacher of the game.
Excellent course. Firstly, Vadim is such a great teacher - very engaging, passionate about his subject and clearly excited about sharing his passion with others. And extremely clear, concise and helpful in his explanations. There is such a mine of information here, and the puzzles are very well-crafted too. Thought I would find Ghost mode too hard - but its very useful! Highly recommended.
Great course for beginners like me. It really gave me more confidence. Now I know I was playing all wrong... before I just had the impression.
very good course I liked the ghost mode
Great intro of 19x19 for the beginners !!
Super
