It often happens that playing ko is like spinning a roulette wheel — you never know what result to expect. Sometimes it miraculously saves you a lost game, other times it kills one of your groups. In this course we’ll learn all about preparing for ko, playing it at the right time and using the right ko threats. By the end you will have a good grasp of ko fundamentals that will turn ko into a useful and formidable tool in your Go inventory.
Suitable for: 10–1 kyu. For those who are very familiar with the basics of Go.



It was a nice, enjoyable course, no filler talk, and I learned a lot of things, thank you. But constructively — I wish there was more explanation of why it's this way and not something else, or why this is a threat and this isn't, because a lot of things felt like riddles to me and you didn't explain how to think about what to do."
