If you’ve ever wondered what mysteries are hidden within the game of Go, then this course will answer your question. Peculiar ko fights, extraordinary tesujis, rules disputes and more. Welcome to the world of uncharted and magical Go.

Originally this was a series of videos on YouTube, but we’ve put some extra content into videos 6 and 7, made a few extra episodes and added problems to solve after each one of them — and that’s how this course was born.

Suitable for: 12k–9d. The course topics are so diverse and unusual that they can be interesting for all players regardless of their level of strength.

You get a smidge of history concerning each of the 11 lessons. Some stories are more interesting and in-depth than others. I can't say I found the course exhilarating or beneficial to my game (Bent Four review was good), but if you go into the course just looking for an ounce or two of Go curiosities and lost history, then maybe you will find something new here such as the Korean Ouroboros Game.

Absolutely astonishing!

Very awesome course. I've been playing go 14 years and I thought I'd seen pretty much everything, but there were a lot of new crazy situations I'd never heard of. I enjoyed this a lot and I've been committing some of these to memory so I can share them with others.

A series for fun! Lovely. It's so easy to forget the beauty of the game and get lost in counting and thinking only of winning. it is nice to sit back and enjoy the game for the simple and complex beauty without fretting over anything so overarching and maniacal. Sometimes the zen wanderings are the whole point in the first place.

Lovely curiosities of Go and rule fringe cases. Started out as a youtube series and adds a few more lessons for the paid content here. I never heard about most of these, so its an intriguing little collection, even if feel like this particular course doesnt use the strengths of the Go Magic platform to its fullest extent.
