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.

A great way to get to grips with Go, I'd watched the videos on Youtube previously, but being able to take the quizzes on the GoMagic site really helps solidify my understanding!

I had already learned the basic rules of the game through Michael Redmond's series of videos for beginners. However, I do believe that this lesson also clearly conveys the rules, and that anyone should be able to pick up the game and give it a go by following this lesson. The exercises are also nice for immediately reinforcing what's being taught, and are certainly worth signing up for.
