In this course you will learn the rules of Go in all of their simplicity and splendor.
The rules of Go could in fact be presented in a single video lesson. This course however has a different purpose. It is meant to make sure you can play your first games even without a teacher standing over your shoulder. Not only will you learn Go rules but you will also acquire some basic Go skills. All of this will help you have more fun playing Go and maybe even get your first wins.
After learning the rules of Go, we recommend trying to play a few games (on a 9×9 board) and then proceed to the next course — The Fundamentals of Go on 13×13. Also take a look at this beginner’s guide.

The user interface is fantastic and so is the video production. Vadim is an enthusiastic teacher that combines clarity, conciseness and humour. This is by far the best resource in English to teach yourself Go and I only wish the whole site could be more affordable to a wider range of potential students. Having such a polished learning resource for a niche game like Go is amazing.
Nicely done
Great course! Very interesting!
Couldn't have asked for a better introduction. And the teacher is painfully cute!
I liked the gamification learning of this course. After this do the 13x13 course to fill the gaps you can have with this.
Great introduction to the game! It's the perfect material to recommend to someone new to the game. The astonishing editing, the quizzes and the charismatic teacher make it very entertaining.
Solved with basic knowledge
Awesome course
Been wanting to learn Go for YEARS. Came across a random video from GoMagic and I couldn't be happier. Goes over the basics very thoroughly.
It was great course. I've been wanting to learn Go for a long time. Thanks to Gomagic i learned a lot. Thank u Gomagic
Great content. Made me feel like I could finally develop my Go club and myself with state-of-the-art learning materials!
Learnt heaps from the videos, especially how to score and Komi.
Great course
Great material, great site, great instructor. Can't get enough. Coming back to Go (as a beginner) after a few months hiatus, I wish I had found this site my first foray - it covers everything thoroughly and succinctly.
Even tho i already knew how to play, this was very fun to watch and go back to the basics with my son.
Great start to learning the game of go
simple and easy
Amazing first contact with go and amazing resource
As a newcomer to go this place and all of its resources have been a blessing!
Perfect introduction to the game. Vadim is a great teacher and makes it very easy to grasp the basic concepts. I also benefited from the recommendations on where to play go online. Thank you!
