Shapes in Go — this is one of the most beautiful concepts within the game. Making good shapes requires a fine balance of aesthetic vision and precision of execution. In a way, it is similar to the Japanese art of Ikebana – flower arrangement. With enough creativity and experience you will transform your games into black-and-white paintings. This is the first course in the Shape series.
Suitable for: 20–14 kyu. Right after learning the fundamentals.
A huge thanks to Tuệ Trần, Nguyễn Nam Hoàng and Hang Anh for their precious help with this course.

Very nice. I enjoyed the music-go part.
Great course! Especially liked the references to music and the knight story.
Loved the adventures of Willie the Wedger!
Really interesting course with nice puzzles along the lectures. Maybe only sometimes too much distraction with references to music, raw materials and knighthood 😉
Good course overall. Just wish child friendly language is used throughout this and other courses. While I’m not religious, it’s hard for me to recommend this course and Go Magic in general to children especially those in religious households because of the use of “god-damn” in the Tiger’s Mouth lesson.
Great course to get a better feel for the game!
great course, definitely will have to go over it again
Nice and clear, thank You Vadim. The quizzes sometimes give rise to more questions than the course answers but maybe that's the point 😉
nice
Fondamental !
A fundamental course and should be one of the first viewed
A good course to revisit several times...at least for me.
Shapes are a foundation for understanding the game
As usual, an excellent course by Go Magic!
Good fundamentals. But I still have some question marks, especially considering the last quiz.
This will be a course I revisit for sure. It fit in nicely right after the 13x13 course.
Really good course. I know I will come back to that one.
Good course for the rating given (14-20k). Looking forward to part 2
I like the detailed explanations and examples why different shapes behave in a specific way, and especially the bonus video with its important lesson.
Great course and references, maybe I’ll stop using the tiger’s mouth anywhere possible))
