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: 15–8k who are already familiar with the basic opening principles.

I learned a lot. But some courses were just too long. Some diagrams to build a memory map would help: san-san (offense-defense), hoseki (offense-defense), kokumi (offense-defense). One course was about 20 Minutes. That could have been split in half with a quiz in between. Else, as always: marvelous.
A great follow up to the other opening course. This one gives you a nice, simple joseki repertoire that you can immediately start using in your own games. It really emphasizes understanding the moves as opposed to just memorizing them.
Probably my fav course of theirs so far, their discussions on AI variations were fascinating !
Do yourself a favour and follow this course.
Great course that introduces joseki and their use with an emphasis on simplicity and the reasoning behind them instead of playing them blindly, leading to a deeper understanding.
Very interesting course giving good orientation about Joseki. Suggestion would be to provide some form of summary of the Joseki contained in the course. I know we should not memorize them but it would still be helpful
Great course overall. As a 14k I would appreciate if there were a few more easy exercises to help me getting more comfortable with the sequences before getting into the interesting stuff. Also, it looks like something is missing from the Terra Incognita section.
This course is excellent! As someone with no previous experience in joseki's, I was able to grow in knowledge and understanding of how to use joseki's well AND growing in my reading capacity. Great job!
Nice course! simple and good 🙂 please more of this.
A fine course, nicely performed, filmed, editet and prepared. Looking forward to more like this. Thanks for the great work!
A wonderful compendium of simple joseki covering all main points with peaceful variations and fighting variations, with both classic human sequences and modern ai improvements. Vadim does a great job explaining why and how every joseki unfolds the way it does, allowing you to actually understand the logic behind them rather than forcing you into mindless repetition.
The course is great for people who don't know many joseki yet. Not only do you see some of the most common simple joseki, but you are also taught what they are good for. And it is still quite a nice recap if you already know the basic joseki. Repetition is hardly ever wrong.
Excellent, learned a lot from this!
Cool and comprehensive course. A lot of josekis are covered, very well explained, quizzes are there to test the knowledge, and some of them are tricky! Easy to trick SDK players. I wonder if any low day player can complete it all without any mistakes. Waiting for advance josekis long course!
A much-needed overview course that I will definitely recommend to beginners instead of uninspiring books or databases. While a single-digit kyu player may know most of the variations, what's really useful is the continuity between them and the rationale for showing each one. There's a balance between old and new, details and the big picture, which provides valuable structure to the topic.
A good introduction to the limitless world of joseki. On the one hand, popular variants are considered, on the other hand, the general principles of playing joseki are given. Bright presentation of the material and good problems on the material covered. The lecture about takomoku and mokuhazushi is great!
Amazing course. The comparisons between old and AI joseki are very interesting. I already knew most joseki (I am currently 6 kyu on OGS), but I still learned a lot about the meaning behind the moves. Especially my compliments for explaining the 3-4 pincer joseki in such a good and yet simple way. Keep up this good work! I am looking forward very much to more joseki videos.
Great course, relevant content delivered with nice friendly style, please keep up the good work!
Don't memorize Joseki, learn the principles. 😊👍 Keep it simple and efficient. Great course, but... We want more 🤪
Wonderful course. I'm 1d and just wanting to fill in any cracks in my self-taught Go journey, and I was surprised how useful this was to me. Very nice and complete, love the up-to-dateness with the discussion of the old joseki and the new ai understanding.
