Probing Moves or yosu-miru is one of the more advanced skills in Go. We use these moves to ask our opponent how he wants to respond, and depending on his answer we build our future strategy. In this course Alexander will show you some standard probes that you can use in your own games right away. When you are done with the basics, you will see some unusual probing move examples from professional games.
Suitable for: 5k–5d. Yosu-miru is a challenging dan-level technique. However, SDK players who are striving to get stronger will also find many useful and inspiring things here.
We also recommend watching these two interviews with Alexander: FIRST and SECOND.
All the lessons of this course have English voiceover! The voiceover switch is under the video in each lesson.

A great course for anyone who has scratched their head over what on earth a "probing move" is (like me). It's not an easy course; you should know basic attack and defense principles and have some confidence in the game. But if you're looking for inspiration to unlock your creative potential, this course is for you. I suspect the seeds sown by this course will take some time to fully realize in me.
It hurts trying to open the 3rd eye, but I'm excited as I slowly peer towards the higher realms of the Go board. Alex shows tons of variations, yet it's at a pace that's not overwhelming and rushed. The quizzes are great as they allow you to play out multiple variations along w/throwing out various variations to solve. This one is a keeper, and I've got lifetime access, BAby! Vid is dub'd, TY!
Even better the second time!
Inspiring course! So many elegant ways to destroy your opponents territory. I will need to rewatch this at least a couple of times.
Awesome. It will certainly open your third eye. We need more of Dinerstein! And the English dubbing made it way more worthwhile.
I thoroughly enjoyed this course. The explanations were clear and the examples practical and helpful. This is such a rewarding course, I think it requires a few views, not just one. When your done, if you didn't think so before, you will now have a great appreciation of the flux that can happen in a game of go. Let your skill level rise as you needle points or whole territories away with yosu-miru
Fantastic course that hugely inspired me and allows me to look at Go and the resulting board positions in a completely new way. I am far from using it properly and will end up making many mistakes, but I am seriously amazed and baffled that in just 2 hours, this course managed to turn my view on my own playstyle completely upside down.

Another great course, like the course about Attachment, at my level (SDK) I need to review it a lot of time to really use it properly, but the more I review it the more I like it. 😊 I really hope that we can have a Dub in English soon for this course. Maybe It might be useful to have a quick resume after the standards part of all possible Yosu-miru move for each shape. Thank you so much.
This is a very informative and interesting course; if not the best, then one of the best courses on this platform.
Спасибо за курс, очень хороший.

Великолепный курс. Мастер-класс по технике игы и расчету высочайшего класса. Четко, подробно и доступным языком. Спасибо Александру.
Прекрасный курс, увидел игру для себя с новой стороны. Большое спасибо!
Спасибо! Очень мощно)))
Александр, большое спасибо за курс! Действительно, эти приемы раскрывают еще один уровень Го, сложный и увлекательный поиск уместных вопросов, заданных в территории противника. И как не отвечай на них, все равно есть к чему придраться )) Техники мастерские, 4дан+ )
Спасибо за курс искусных проверочных ходов с примерами из партий профессионалов и интереснейших по динамике квизов!
