Go starter pack

(799)

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.

This free starter course is excellent. The lessons are very clear and precise and it has gotten me to the point where I can now at least play the game of Go witch I am very excited about. I'm planning on sticking around for another course or two to see if I can go a littler farther. Thank you GOMAGIC!.

This will be my go to recommendation as an Introduction to Go for the english speaking audience. I really hope it will be localized to many languages. The course chapter structure, the visualizations and the problem interludes make it a very smooth experience. The order and pacing of the content is well thought out. Good Job, Team GoMagic!

Thank you for this free introductory course! I certainly learned more than enough to get started with the game on a 9x9 board. The videos explain everything clearly, and I enjoyed the interactive quizzes in the middle of them.
