Everyone looks at endgame with caution — it’s the last part of the game that might seem unessential. Many of the moves in the endgame look similar and very small. In this course we will learn to see the difference between them and how to calculate their value.
A few simple techniques — and you will stop treading water in the endgame and giving away your hard-won points left and right. Your endgame will not be the same anymore.
Suitable for: 14–3k. This course explains the basics of playing endgame but it can be also interesting for stronger SDK players.

Useful course. I find endgame very hard. The quizzes at the end aren't easy.
Usually my opponents seem to play much better endgame, but now I feel more confident. Learned some new tricks I will look out for in my games. thx a lot. Very interesting and very well explained. Heard some of this before, but struggled to understand it. Now I think I get it. 🙂 Need to rehearsed it though.
Great course - and in addition I really love that there are extra study materials (the flashcards) - I’d love to see more of this. One really easy flashcard improvement - it would be good not to have the card number in the corner - I don’t want any additional memory hooks to remember the score (e.g. my brain has now remembered that card 10 is worth 10 points, which won’t be helpful in a game!)
Great course, I learned a lot! Would love to have the flashcards in interactive form somewhere on the site too.
Great course! Fun, engaging, plenty of quizzes and good value. Vadim is excellent at communicating the magic of Go 🙂
Lots of great endgame content. Enough for doing this course twice. Great structure
Very good one. Essential, practical, broad enough and fun. Thank you for it.
VERY INTERESTING COURSE WITH CCHALLENGING MATERIAL. UNFORTUNATELY TOO MANY QUIZ RESPONSES ARE FAULTY THUS ONLY 2 STARS
Thank you for the course. I now know so much.
I learned quite a few new things. Oam around 2k. Great videos and great quizzes also
Deeper endgame course with strong potential for getting back later when you've got a bit better.
The course was very clear and interactive. I liked the way hierarchy of sente/gote was explained - at last I got that;) thank you! highly recommend!
Really great course! I will quite likely be returning to this several times as I hone my Go skills.
It's very clear and helpful!
Great course, I will need to get back to it a few time before I will be able to put all of what is presented here into practice
Vadim, your love and enthusiasm for the game makes what could have been a grindingly tedious subject a real joy to work through. Many thanks!
This course really changed how I think about the endgame. Now in many games I really try to focus on playing the best end game I can, instead of just making "automatic moves". I think this course also makes an impact in your play more easily. That is, it doesn't require an effort to learn/remember sequences of moves, you just need to learn the concepts and them apply those in your end game.
OK, now I really started to understand the yose move values. The systematic way of explaining the moves on different levels was very good. And the flashcards are definitely helpful. I can definitely recommend this course.
I learned a lot and thanks to gomagic it wasn’t as boring as I expected since endgame is not my favourite topic. For myself, there will be definitely a great value in re-watching it.
This one is packed with super useful endgame knowledge. I used to get hit hard in the endgame, but I’m confident that i can now defend better against those monkey jumps and hanes.
