Defensive Tesujis In a Nutshell

A great course with lots of value, good examples and explanations, definately worth a 2nd and perhaps 3rd view to reinforce the ideas

Honestly really enjoy this! Can you cut the board in half when the game sequences begin, i don’t mind reading subtitles but it’s hard to go back and forth that much, but love the lessons and love the totally different gaming style and teaching 👍👍 Maybe a voice over for those who are not use to reading subtitles? Keep up the great work, and look forward to his seeing more of his courses 😁

Highly recommend! Alexey's lessons are packed with interesting and SIMPLE examples that show the value of defensive techniques and proper stone connections. The course taught me some cool techniques that brought me a step closer to mastering strong shapes. Now I hope I Will apply this knowledge right into my games! Thanks !

Really good course on tesujis I often forgot how to do it, like the tombstone (hammer) tesuji, with the double hane preparation, or tesujis for connecting/rescue stones on the first line.

A bit less systematic than the other courses, although to be fair with tesuji this can be harder. Another difference is the way it is presented is far less engaging than the other courses in comparisson, but that is because Vadim is excelent. Still some interesting concepts are presented.

beautiful tesujis presented with teasing humor and grace. thank you!

Thank you for very useful Tesujis !!!

Good

Yet another impressive course. I found the last advanced practice quite difficult for me, but very instructive. Thanks to gomagic learning system, I have already made a good progress in my game, skills and observation over the game and reached 12k for first time in the OGS, after being 18-15 for a couple of time. Enjoy learning! 😉

Good compact course. Application in games will require practice

I really enjoyed this. Good reminder to not just try to plow through with a wish and a prayer, but to make sure you have strong shapes before attacking. The quizzes were a welcome challenge to my memory and reading skill.

It is hard to read subtitles and in the same time follow the screen. At least, if you use subtitles, you should avoid the rapid series of moves. One move, one second, not 3-4 moves per second. It is a course, not a live show. The content is nice. Everything is interesting. But I hope to find in Go Magic courses about TRANSITION from fuseki to middlegame. Very often, I fall behind after fuseki...

good , but English dub needed

I think it was excellent. Straight to the point and very interesting problems.

I'd miss stone placement order while reading subtitles. It'd be nice if the stones were #'d when played. The price vs content is fair compared to a Go book. Some problems have variations(that's a positive). As a meddling SDK, I found this course insightful & a reminder that sacrifices must be made. Lssn#2 was my favorite. Course has a theme yet some quiz problems felt random. Will watch again, ty!

I enjoyed the course, the explanations may be more.

I enjoyed this course because as a middle single digit kyu player, I learnt several better moves that i am used to do. I like the fact that on some exercices, the response can be different. So doing them several times is useful. And it opened my mind on new possibilities. So, yes, Thx!

Nice!!!

I enjoyed the course being in Russian because I am actually (in spite of Putin’s beastliness) learning Russian, and was able to understand a lot at ¾ speed. And I saw some tesujis that were new to me or needed refreshing, and useful underlying ideas.

I think the screencast works out really well. It seems worth to consider to make more courses like this if that makes production easier. However, I do feel that there is not a lot of value to this course compared to others. It doesn't offer a systematic approach to understanding and learning tesuji. It is just a random collection of tesuji. Feels more like a YouTube ad for Go Magic.
