The Fundamentals of Go on 13×13
Mastering core strategies and techniques
This course is the perfect starting point for beginners who have just learned the rules of Go and are looking to understand the basics of strategy and tactics on a 13×13 board. It’s an essential foundation that will also prepare you for playing on the more complex 19×19 board.
Once you’re comfortable with the material in this course, we recommend progressing to the more advanced Deeper into the game of Go on 19×19, which is the final course of our elementary trilogy designed to guide you from not knowing the rules to mastering the fundamentals and reaching a solid 12-10 kyu level.
Don’t forget to check out our beginner’s guide for more helpful tips and information.
The video lessons (without quizzes) are freely available on our YouTube channel.
You can also purchase the full course with quizzes using GM coins in the Store.

We publish all reviews; the coins for a review never depend on its rating. How reviews work
- To write a review, a learner must be enrolled in the course and have completed at least one lesson or topic. Earlier reviews needed enrolment only.
- We publish every review at once, whatever its rating, and remove only spam, insults and personal data.
- One review per course; its author can edit or delete it at any time.
- A learner gets 20 coins (the site's points) once per course, for a review with at least 30 characters of text, whatever the rating.
- The average is the plain mean of all ratings. Reviews in your language come first, then those other learners marked helpful (marks on newer reviews count for more), then those with text, newest first.
- Next to newer reviews we show the author's estimated rank on the site and how much of the course they had completed when they last wrote or edited the review.
- The course's teachers and our team may reply to a review publicly.
- To report a review, write to [email protected].
Very thorough and pedagogical.
HelpfulReally like the prompt response from the app managers/teachers. They responded with good explanation whenever I had doubts.
HelpfulUnless you're a low Single Digit Kyu (SDK) player, there's something for you here in this well-rounded course. Plus, I enjoy Vadim's style. He's an excellent teacher.
