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.

Excelente curso para aprender las bases y empezar a adentrarse en el juego. Mientras lo haces da más ganas de jugar y aprender. Vale la pena pagarlo!

Things get serious with this course. There is a lot to take in. Its explained very patiently. This is such a meaty course and really, from my current beginner position, this seems to get to the core of the game. I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. Very valuable course. Will repeat it several times until I finally understand end game and life & death - challenging concepts explained well.:)

This course is great! I feel like the learning is well-paced. I have enough time to absorb what I'm learning while continuing to be challenged enough to maintain my engagement.

Great for learning basic strategy and tactics in go. I did notice a mistake in the "Status Determined" video, during the question posed in the middle. The group on the right was shown to be "still unsettled", and yet the only way to get this question correct is to mark the stones as absolutely dead. Still, the quality of this course was very good so I can overlook this error.
