Here is the wished change to ShoDan!
Very good.
awesome course
Important for understanding and not being intimidated by an area
A truly eye-opening course for the aspiring dan player - hard work, and worth multiple watches!
Great course. A window on an higher level way of thinking in go. I will have to come several times to understand many elements.
Good course, difficult problems
This is one of the must-watch video series on GoMagic. Especially in the AI era, attachments have become so commonplace, it is vital to know how to handle them and when to do them yourself and Alex does an amazing job in this course, pulling many examples from pro games. I will be watching this one multiple times.
One of the 2 courses on go magic that I'll keep coming back to for the next 4-5 years. Just an excellent course that can push someone beyond the dan barrier. I'd love to see more courses by Mr. Alexander.
Just great, a few more reruns and I hopefully will understand most of it.
The course is fantastic, the content especially but also the presentation was enjoyable. I was a bit afraid that the English dubbing would decrease enjoyment, but it didn’t at all! I am a 4k and it covered so many of my weaknesses. It was challenging and I will need to take it several more times, before really understanding everything. But since I aspire to become a 1d, it is exactly what I need.
Some of the later lessons had pauses for the mid-video quizzes, and the video would come out of full-screen, but no quiz/question would come up. All-in-all, the course was incredible. I will be watching it several times. Thank you for the great information, and keep it up!
i found this challenging but the examples were very educational
This course was amazing, helped me in a lot of positions in real games, also i liked the english dub, i could concentrate better on the board
This is a great course, very useful for intermediate players especially! I enjoyed the structured and detailed explanations from Alexander. In the English version, I’d highly recommend adding stone-clicking sounds; it would be much more helpful for following the examples shown. Thank you!
It covers the entire gamut of things I wanted to know about attaching (and a load of stuff I didn't even realise I needed to learn). It will definitely require practice and study to master the techniques, but this course has given me a better understand of the nuances and importance of knowing how, when and why to attach.
Amazing
Harika sondalama hareketleri öğrendim.
Thanks for this course that shown me the real power of attachments and how pro players use them
I love the lessons. The quizzes suck though. I think more effort, and I meant, much more, should be used to fix the quizzes. I know that since it is a very difficult course, it is hard to be perfect, but I will just give my constructive review here. Fix the quizzes and it will be a five star.
