As someone with learning difficulty its so help helpful to have the game scenarios, and its also insightful when one hears new idea and concept one might have forgotten

What I would sometimes like to see in some puzzles is a better explanation of why this particular “one” move is bad.

The course was designed very well. The interactive quizzes helped reinforce the video lessons. I learned a lot and am a much better player.

The course itself was great, albeit a big ramp up in difficulty from the previous ones. My only critique is with the quiz interface itself. It would be great if there was an optional setting to confirm your moves. Now that there are whole board and longer problems, it's much easier to miss click if using a smartphone. I lost quite a few points that way ☹️

The part about the nakade shapes and seki was eye-opening! I wouldn't have thought it's possible to live in some on those examples! The quiz questions are good and some are quite challenging! I scored 84%

It is beneficial for winning games, and now I've won games by more than 100 points!
