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 very good introduction. It would be great if the different clocks are explained too - e.g. what is "Byo Yomi"? When we play on OGS should we choose Chinese or Japanese rules?

Finally a way to learn Go that is enjoyable, captivating, and really just a pleasure. Tried years ago to learn Go and quit trying in frustration -- this experience is so different! Great job! ^;^

This course is an excellent presentation of the basic principles of go. Videos and quizzes alternate, helping the viewer to learn and remember everything... I very strongly suggest this course to all beginners.
