Joseki ABCs or WTH is Happening in the Corner
The game has just started, you played the first corner sequence and something clearly went wrong. Sounds familiar? Those are issues with playing the initial corner variations — joseki.
In this course you will learn the main simple joseki patterns and understand what they are made of. How not to screw things up if your opponent chooses a difficult variation and how to make it complicated if necessary. The joseki will no longer seem like scary sharp-toothed monsters, more like a set of useful tools. What’s left now is to choose a suitable one at the right moment.
Suitable for: 15–7k who are already familiar with the basic opening principles.

We publish all reviews; the coins for a review never depend on its rating. How reviews work
- To write a review, a learner must be enrolled in the course and have completed at least one lesson or topic. Earlier reviews needed enrolment only.
- We publish every review at once, whatever its rating, and remove only spam, insults and personal data.
- One review per course; its author can edit or delete it at any time.
- A learner gets 20 coins (the site's points) once per course, for a review with at least 30 characters of text, whatever the rating.
- The average is the plain mean of all ratings. Reviews in your language come first, then those other learners marked helpful (marks on newer reviews count for more), then those with text, newest first.
- Next to newer reviews we show the author's estimated rank on the site and how much of the course they had completed when they last wrote or edited the review.
- The course's teachers and our team may reply to a review publicly.
- To report a review, write to [email protected].

HelpfulI liked the content, but found it difficult to retain the details for the exercises. I'm currently somewhere around 12-18 kyu, so maybe I should come back to this course later.
HelpfulThis course was perfect! It really helped me improve.
HelpfulClear and lively, as usual.
HelpfulThe course was excellent, very helpful, and definitely worth watching. I learned a lot. As constructive feedback, I would have liked to see some more advanced variations as well. The focus was mainly on simple, beginner-friendly play, which is great for new players, but it wasn't always the most accurate according to AI. A few stronger examples would make it even better.
HelpfulExcellent as usual. Thanks for the course!
HelpfulGreat teacher! Great course!
HelpfulIt's an excellent course, you get the basics of Joseki and the idea behind it, likes he says in the end you don't need to remember joseki by heart. Learn a few to get a feeling but the important part, is to play more games, try to apply some but don't start learning every single Joseki.
HelpfulThere was a lot to learn. This course will require more practice on my own and some more experience at the board just as our instructor advised. Limited number of joseki with limited variations makes it easier to apply what I learned to my games.
