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.

It's the teaching approach I've always looked for: gamification, coherent progression, numerous exercises and practical applications to properly assimilate concepts. You can feel the passion and professionalism of the site's creators! Thanks again, keep producing quality content. Go is becoming really addictive!
I already knew some of the rules, but this course is a great primer/refresher. The interactive quizzes assure you are keeping up with the explanations. Great idea! This is my first course at Go Magic and I liked it a lot. Will continue with next courses for sure.
Great website, great courses, and of high quality! Even my wife is getting involved!
The course materials are well organized, and they are really useful for new players.
I knew the rules of Go already before watching this course. Still, I enjoyed this well-stuctured repitition, including the little interesting tidbits here and there. Thanks!
The quickest way to get the basics of go down!
This was my first course on GoMagic, as I am sure it is for many of us, and I must say that I am really impressed by the interactivity and clear explanations that were included. This course, combined with the Skill Tree, has helped me notice daily improvement in the early stages of learning that I am currently in!
Great Course! The basics were explained clearly. The exercises helped deepen the learning.
nice course
Would recommend anytime. Very well made!
Very well made course for introduction to go
Very comprehensive intro to Go without being overwhelming to beginners.
pretty nice course
comprehensive and well produced
This is by far the best introduction to the game I have seen anywhere. The videos are excellent in terms of both content and production quality, and they are always engaging. The embedded quizzes and practice between lessons are also great for making sure I have learned what I was supposed to learn. I'm definitely looking forward to more Go Magic courses!
This course is so fun and everything is explained very well and easy to understand. The interactions and exercises in between are very helpful too, and I think even though I already knew the rules of Go, it was well worth going back to the basics, as I have definitely improved in "spotting things".
Go made simple. Good job!
The animation and interactive quizzes make this the most unique beginner Go course out there.
By far best course for complete beginners, that I have found up to this point!
Very Fun Course
