Welcome to the updated “Fundamentals of Go on 13×13” course.
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.

Well preparing to the 13x13. Great course!
All you need to know before playing a 13x13 !
Another great course! I'm having a lot of fun with your courses, I know for a fact that I'll end up getting a subscription
Very nice summary for beginners and even for more advanced players. I enjoyed it very much. Thanks for all this effort on gomagic!
thank you so much for that great course 🙂
This was really, really good. A tremendous job!
Super helpful course! Thank you:)
I received as gift from a Friend the silver membership. Follow these courses is a very fast and good way to grow. Each step is cleary explained, and making the exercise is important to become step by step more conscious of proper level
Great introduction to Go. The interactive quizzes inside of the video help to reinforce the content.
The introductory topics are so concise and well explained that not only is this one of the best beginner intros I would ever recommend but it seems like a delightful journey for more experienced players as well. Very well rounded course. It has a bit of everything laying down firm foundation but doesn't overstep (that would lead to confusion and hopelessness in the face of complexity).
Super helpful course! Outlining the 3 stages of the game and the intro to good and bad shape have helped to improve my midgame tremendously. I struggled a bit with some of the whole board problems, finding all the endgame moves on a a couple, and failing to identify neutral points on a couple others. I'll have to retake the quizzes in a few days to try for a perfect score.
the course is detailed at the right level, not too much to bore, not too little to not understand
it was so fun but it was very long
It`s a excellent course, thank you! You explain it clearly, friendly and positive, it`s fun to listen to it and very helpful!
I found this course challenging, but really rewarding when I finally figured out each solution.
The explanations were clear with easy to repeat strategies.
Excellent job.
Excellent course with all the basics to start playing on 13x13
Great course. The parts on seki and ko are especially helpful.
In only a few days I was a total beginner at 25kyu and now I am at 19kyu. I have beaten the players that were smashing me when I was a beginner and I am gaining a feel for 13x13. I want to sharpen up my skills and progress to 19x19 now. Thank you so much for this course.
