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.

Recently I started to go and tried multiple apps/ websites to understand Go, but I struggled to understand the game with some of them. This course helped cement the game's fundamentals and improve my understanding of some of the term/ topics.

This is one of the best courses teaching the game of Go. The first time I learned Go on other websites, I couldn't win even a single game, but with Go Magic, I started seeing this game with a new perspective and I started winning my games. I really want to say thank you guys for helping me enjoy Go, and keep up the amazing job you're doing. And we're waiting for other great courses like this one.
