excellent, covers a lot of topics and is well produced as always
This is a great continuation of the 9x9 fundamentals course, but I was really hoping for more lessons on fighting techniques.
Amazing is an understatement!!!
This is the best way to learn Go, thank you very much Vadim for your great and amazing explanation. I'm fortunate to have found you, I remember my first days of learning Go, I was really lost in this huge grid of endless possibilities, I never knew what move to play, I didn't know how to count the score or even tell if a group is dead or alive. But everything has changed now. Thank you Go Magic.
Thanks for your patience
Excelent course. Some of the lessons opened a whole new view on the game. Very recommended.
Great problems
Really nice introduction - I will definitely recommend it to my friends who want to learn Go (you're a much better teacher than me! (; )
Thanks for this, I am a beginner, it was really impressive for me !
The new tactics are wonderfull, but I miss a little bit more emphasis on game position strategy
This course delivers what it promises: a modern way to learn Go. I love the frequent interactive quizzes where I can immediately practice what I learned. I also like the style of explanations. It somehow resonates with my way of thinking and logic.
Really enjoyed the course a lot. I tried learning go many times in the last few years, and it's only by discovering Go Magic that I was finally able to push through. Love the game!
Been playing for two years, but this basic lessons explains some of the stuff I thought I knew and pointed out some things I was oblivious to before. Definitely worth it if you just started playing without much external knowledge input.
Effective at teaching the basic principles of 13x13. I feel like I have a meaningfully better grasp on the game after going through this course.
amazing
Great to start out!
Great refresher on some of the concepts I already knew and an expansion into some deeper strategy. The history lesson was a great bonus.
A great way to start my journey into GO. Basic concepts are well explained and the practices are really helpful. While we were only scratching the surface, I nevertheless got an idea about the fascinating complexity as well as the great history of the game. The course really motivates me to go on, improve and learn. Some more free courses would be great, though.
Love the videos. The explaination are very clear and spot on. I just started playing the game a week ago and can already kind of keep up with my gf, who grew up with the game (never actively played) but still... it shows that a lot of important principles are covered here. Gj and thank you
Covers all the basics that a beginner needs to get into the game of go!
