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.

Je connaissais déjà le go, et j'ai testé de nombreux cours d'introduction au go sur internet, c'est juste le meilleur ! Très complet et démonstratif, avec une excellente pédagogie également, et si vous êtes français, pas d'inquiétude, il y a des sous-titres sous chaque vidéo. Si vous voulez découvrir le go, c'est la meilleure introduction au jeu trouvable sur internet.

Great introduction course to Go! Helped me especially in thinking about neutral points, which I think most tutorials don't focus on.
