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.



The course provides a great foundation to play ko in your games. Stanislaw makes it understandable with good examples and clear explanations. I need to get more experience using ko in my games and then repeat the course to better understand the more advanced topics. Thank you Stanislaw. I always enjoy taking your courses.
