Mastering core strategies and techniques

(231)

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.

We strive to make high-quality Go resources available to everyone!

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.

Fab introduction to Go on the 13x13 grid. It was great to expand skills hinted at during the 9x9 intro course!

This is my second time, first with the revised (paid) course. I enjoyed it, learned from it, and know that seki and ko-threats are areas I need to work on. I especially benefited from the integrated puzzles that match the videos well. I will probably do it again in 6 mo., just because it is fun. But now... on to 19x19 as my work and time allow.

Thank you so much as ever, I adore go magic and i can't wait to watch the rest of the courses 🙂 This was really really handy as I'm not very good at Go yet

Great introduction. It all seems very complex, but learning it step by step like this is a very good way to approach it.

Posted 1 month ago

Highly informative, and clearly explained. Especially the information regarding Ko, and Ko Threats.

I really appreciated the thoughtful progression of the course. Each section serves up a digestible set of concepts with compelling examples. The interactive quizzes are fun, but require a solid understanding of the concepts presented, so you have to pay attention. I learned a lot and I’m looking forward to learning more.
