You probably know which moves in the endgame are the biggest and what the difference between sente and gote is. If this sounds a little confusing, you can start with our course on the basics of endgame. But do you know how to count the value of a move down to fractions of a point? What is the difference between sure gain and expected local result? And how do sente or reverse sente influence those values? If not, then join Stanislaw on this technical endgame hiking trip and learn all the nerdy details to surprise your friends with your precise knowledge.
Suitable for: 5k – 5d. For those who already know all the basics of endgame.
Learning to count and evaluating the board is a vital part of a Go player's arsenal but it is often ignored for the flashier opening formations and middle game tesujis. This course goes into the nitty gritty, teaching exactly how to compute move value. Even I couldn't grasp everything my first time watching, especially the last couple of lessons. I will need to watch this series multiple times.
