After learning the rules and the very first fundamentals of Go you are finally ready to move on to the big board — to 19×19. If you’re already used to playing on smaller boards, this will be quite a change. There are new openings, new strategies, new middle-game principle and… new mistakes. In this course we’ll go over several 19×19 games of varying difficulty as well as some very typical mistakes. At the end you’ll learn how to review your own games without a teacher.
Suitable for: 20–10 kyu, who already played a handful of games on 19×19
A huge thanks to our problem composer Hoàng for his priceless help in finding games for this course.

We publish all reviews; the coins for a review never depend on its rating. How reviews work
- To write a review, a learner must be enrolled in the course and have completed at least one lesson or topic. Earlier reviews needed enrolment only.
- We publish every review at once, whatever its rating, and remove only spam, insults and personal data.
- One review per course; its author can edit or delete it at any time.
- A learner gets 20 coins (the site's points) once per course, for a review with at least 30 characters of text, whatever the rating.
- The average is the plain mean of all ratings. Reviews in your language come first, then those other learners marked helpful (marks on newer reviews count for more), then those with text, newest first.
- Next to newer reviews we show the author's estimated rank on the site and how much of the course they had completed when they last wrote or edited the review.
- The course's teachers and our team may reply to a review publicly.
- To report a review, write to [email protected].
Amazing! Very interesting and helpful as for developing some analysing skills. Definitely suitable and a big help for ddk and sdk.
HelpfulSome interesting games and very good explanations to improve your game. The quizzes provide a good test.
HelpfulHarder then initially seems, especially the dan games (I’m fresh SDK). Vecy much worth the time!
HelpfulLike always with Vadim : Pleasant and good course
HelpfulThis course is really nice and what you said is true the difference between the strong player who always improves and the opposite is the opposite he just plays fast games and you feel he only wants to play a move with no analysis no thinking and they do not study the game this rewards the one who works hard and if it was not like this it would not be classified among the hardest games
HelpfulVery helpful course for this DDK. It was nice that every review focused on a few things that I could grasp: not too much, not too little. And the way of presenting makes it fun!
HelpfulVery usefull!
HelpfulFor me, around 10k, this was very useful and also quite entertaining. I appreciated the lesson on how to self-review, as it is something I am trying to start doing
Helpfulthese kind of review videos are really entertaining and helpful. i hope to see more in the future.
HelpfulGreat course. You should do more of these! I especially like the quiz problems that seem to focus on big moves.
One minor thing. Either I am missing something or there are a bunch of times when you say white while placing a black stone or black while placing a white. In any case - excellent courseHelpful
