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.

Very clear, the passion you can see in Vadim's eyes is helping to keep you engaged. The real treat that sets this apart from other videos I found online is the editing, clean and really helpful.

This course is great for learning not only the rules which themselves are very simple but some of the consequences of those deceptively simple rules. And Vadim is an excellent teacher.

I really like Vadim, he has a true love for the game and I think that makes it easier for him to explain the basic principles in a patient and easy to comprehend manner.
