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.

Very useful for the intermediate player.
End game is mathematical and getting good at it requires a lot of deliberate effort. Reading, counting and end game are those parts of the game that are most chore like. This course does a very good job of distilling principles and breaking end game strategy into manageable pieces. End game attitude proposed by the course and fighting for sente will always stay with me.
Those endgame tesujis were beautiful! This course was way more difficult than others, gotta do the whole course again in the future
learned a lot
Perfect.
I learn a lot from this.
Thank you for the course. This subject is really hard for me (and many others). And this lessons makes it more bearable. I improve my understanding of counting in the endgame, and I count to use the flashcards to improve further Personal taste: - I'd need more "comical relief" - The explanation of multiplying double sente (and other tweaks)... Still obscure to me [It's in another course?]
I have a friend I play regularly with whom I'd usually be 30-40pts ahead in the opening and middle game, but then the final score would always be within a few points margin. So I knew it was time to take this course 😅 Just knowing the order to play moves has made a huge difference in our last 2 games. I'll definitely be coming back to this one, especially for the endgame tesuji!
super helpful course 🙂
Not clear enough explanation for counting the value of a move. Could also help to have more and better examples to explain it. Addition? Division? I rewatched videos and still couldn’t figure it out.
Very nice course, I learnt a lot of things and I realized that I use to do a lot of mistake by playing automatically or not seeing tesujis. My skills have been surely improved due to this course.
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.
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.
Really clear, organized, and helpful, butI would appreciate a bit more detail and clarity in the counting points section.
