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.

Très concret,
Enjoyed the lectures and the puzzles. Stanislaw does a great job explaining the concepts and the puzzles reinforce those ideas well. Several times I found the correct sente move even though I wasn't sure how to follow it. The puzzles helped me a lot with that. For example, gaining 1 or 2 extra points in endgame with proper sente play. Or using sente to make a trade. Thanks Stanislaw.
The course was very important and covered a lot of genuinely useful and valuable information. However, as constructive feedback I felt that there were far too many puzzles, to the point where it became excessive. I think the course would have been much more beneficial if half of the puzzles had been removed and more time had been dedicated to explanations and teaching the concepts in greater depth
Excellent course. Stanislaw is a very good teacher, and I liked the structure of the course: this DDK learned a lot, but I also know that if I rewatch it later, I will discover a lot more.
Good course with well-thought-out examples!
Excellent course on exactly when to play your forcing moves, which is a very tricky topic
Excellent course. I learned so much about sente and forcing moves. I’ll work to integrate these learnings into my games. Many thanks.
Both entertaining and educational. I feel like some courses are more about entertainment and you spend a lot of time and learn nothing at all. But this on is very well balanced. You have fun and you learn a lot!
really intersting, and fun, thanks to stanislaw
very good course
Very, very recommended (sdk). Excellent answers to questions you sometimes not even know are there 🙂
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.
Great course! Thank you!
One of my favorite courses so far!
Good course, I learned a lot
Fun and very instructive! Love the tone, Nadim's inserts and make-off cuts.
Great content and very enthusiastic style of teacher
A must watch for SDKs. Loved his energy, and also props to the video editor, I always forget to thank him <3
This course really helps me clarify what is the good use of forcing moves. It totally fits my present level and way of thinking. It should really help me manage forcing moves: identify them, decide what is the good timing, add some of them before answering to my opponent ... And Stanislaw provides really good courses, structured, comprehensive and with some hints of humor
Great course, Stanislaw is a fun sensei. Some of the concepts come across as too advanced, but the exercises do a good job of demystifying them. I feel like this course could be tied together with something a bit more basic to make it more tangible.
