Great games from a couple of hundreds years !!
Great for learning and for motivation. Riviting story and beautiful games
Overall great course, learning the background on such a famous game of go was really enjoyable and I like how easy to follow the explanation of the games were.
Thank you for the unique type of course!
It was a great pleasure to watch such an interesting story, very inspiring! It’s cool that educational content is mixed with historical/entertainment content like this
Thank you for the course .
I really love the historical deep-dives. It is good to learn about strong and influential players from the past and to build up knowledge of the game of Go's extensive history.
I enjoyed every minutes in this course and I learned a lot.
The course presented some very interesting facts about the history of go for the ones who want to know about the history of the game. It also showed the style of Jowa and some of his general sugestions on how to play the game. There are some very nice exercises that I enjoyed (which are somewhat challenging but possible for kyu players). Well done!
Interesting, I am really enjoying some historical background of the game!
Having read Invincible & a handful of books w/Jowa, I knew the story; yet, Vadim's presentation and the subtle music made this 10x better than reading a book. Go Magic is a new type of platform for Go, and I love history being intertwined w/learning. Much better visual explanations here than the old Invincible book. Infact, one of the better game reviews I've experienced w/it's unrushed pace. Ty!
Thank you for this historical course.
Very motivating to see how the go can be such a magic 😉 !
Vadim is an excellent storyteller and i enjoyed the course. The Life and death quiz at the end was way to difficult for a mere ddk like me.
Simply an amazing course, learning about go history has never been more fun.
I loved this course, it's mixture of Go History, reviews of famous games, trivia and problems to solve is truly unique and Vadim delivers it with captivating enthusiasm.
Well this is the first course I take, it is so cool. Thoses quizzes are fun. And it so well explained. Thank you so much.
Wow! This course made me feel like falling in love with Go all over again. It shows the beauty and magnificence of the game, and Vadim is an excellent teacher. His enthusiasm and passion for the game in general, and topic specifically, shines through and it is highly contagious.
Splendid! I would like to see more fascinating historical courses like this!
Interesting history lesson, though I'm more interested in actual courses.
