After learning the rules of Go or perhaps some basic techniques, it’s normal if you still feel that a lot of questions were left unanswered. In fact no matter how much you learn, there is an element of mystery that’s always there. In this course we’ll review a few more games on 9×9 and 13×13 and at the same time answer some of the most commonly asked questions on the basics of Go. Let’s lift the veil of mystery together.
Suitable for: 25–15 kyu. For those who just finished “The Rules of Go” or “The Fundamentals of Go on 13×13”.
A big thanks to our problem composer Hoàng for finding great example games for this course.

I liked this course more than I was expecting considering I’ve been focusing on 19x19. Some of the questions were quite difficult for a ~25k
Very good to go through the reviews of the games with lots of alternatives demonstrated. Nice examples how small mistakes can turn a whole game up side down. The invasion in the last lesson is a good example.
Very important courses for progression ! Now I will takes just some 13x13 because I already done 20 or 30 times on it and will start the 19x19 courses ! very good platform , very good courses I love this site !
Good course with nice jokes and practical game theory. Would recomend not only for beginners, but for more advanced players to rethink theory fundamentals for each stage of the game.
Just fabulous! I loved the messages from the Japanese people! So interesting!
What I appreciate about this particular course is that it uses concepts taught in more advanced courses but shows how they apply to the smaller boards and the beginner games. Well done!
Great course to learn how to review your own games
can´t wait for the next reviews, should be a weekly thing.
It was a good course, but I think I should repeat it again after a long time. There were a few elements that I didn't fully understand. Maybe next time. Nevertheless, a very good course.
Great course, like always with Vadim.
This is a great refresher course for those smaller boards. It’s helped me see potential issues in a game
I've done a number of the more advanced courses and I still think this is essential viewing. It uses games on 9x9 and 13x13 by players of different levels and reviews them, tasking you with finding better moves in many situations. It goes through opening, middle and end game. I find my end game a bit sharper now.
Another entertaining and informative course by Vadim. Good introduction/refresher on endgame sequences too!
Useful in order to understand in which order end game moves should be played
You must watch this course !
Loved the course though in game 6 of the course there was a mid lesson question that said i answered incorrectly though i actually played the same “correct” answer shown in the video afterward
Although I am not a beginner anymore, I always like to see basic techniques and practice a bit. Still made some mistakes, so there's always room to learn. Yesterday I lost a game by not playing safe in the endgame when my territory was invaded. I should have watched this course before!
Wonderful beginner course. Wish there was something like this sooner when I had to learn the fundamental lessons the hard way. Nevertheless, you never are truly done learning and practicing fundamentals, so I find this course beneficial for any kyu player as a charming reminder and fun practice.
Nicely done as ever!
Great course, thanks Vadim <3 It would take some weight off my shoulders now for my club. Looking forward to the 19x19 one as well.
