Mastering core strategies and techniques

(242)

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.

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.

A good step up from the introductory course.

Fantastic course. I've learned and grown so much. Everything was explained so well.

The problems are not that well balanced - it seems the explanation always deals with a simpler version. And unfortunately there are wrong solutions in the final test. So although all the contents of the course are important, and presented in an engaging way, the final exam detracts from the experience.

Great course, the explanations are easy to follow and each concept is backed up with great examples that made everything click. Highly recommended.

Great for beginners!

I really enjoyed the course and definitely learned a lot from it. It helped me see that I still need to work on seki and ko threats. The puzzles that go along with the videos were especially useful — they reinforced the lessons really well. I’ll probably go through it again in a couple of months.

Tough course, and bit of an eye opener. It definitely showed me what areas I need to work on. I feel there should be something between this course and The Rules of Go course. I'll be taking this course again, and again.

The course that made the game of Go "click" for me, after the first course (The Rules of Go) piqued my interest. The content of the course is always relevant, the difficulty progression perfectly balanced, and the quizzes make everything come together. Also, Vadim is a great teacher and presenter. Great stuff. Thanks guys, now I'm hooked.

I've tried for many years to learn Go, by various means. I have found the 'Skill Tree' approach used here to be an excellent way to learn. The video editing techniques are very well done and add a lot to the explanations and analyses. I'm very happy to have found this site.
