Understanding that playing sente moves as early as possible can make a lot of profit is step one. Step two is realizing that most of forcing moves and sente exchanges are actually wrong. They could eliminate some future possibilities, strengthen your opponent for no reason or just lack the subtlety needed in Go. This course will introduce the key types of forcing moves, when to play them without thinking, and when to keep them in reserve for optimal results.
Suitable for: 12-2 kyu


Excellent course. Stanislaw's experience really shows in this one. It has the very clear and concise principles & heuristics easily understood by most any player, which is typical of GoMagic quality courses, but this one also has some brilliant examples that can come only from high quality games that are reviewed with attention to subtlety.
