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.

This is literally my favorite course so far. I never imagined so many different kinds of beautiful situations in go! I bought lifetime access and it was totally worth it!

Honestly I never expected this much creativity in the game of Go. It is literally puzzles and brilliant ideas and nothing is more enjoyable. I wish you explained every branch of each puzzle so we can understand and enjoy more: why this variation does not work, why the correct line must be this way, and give us core thinking principles on how we should think and solve these amazing puzzles.

I appreciate the loveliness of this course. Vadim shares lots of the beautiful aspects of go, and it’s just fun. The puzzles often required reading many moves ahead, which stretched my skill. I’ll come back to this course again in the future.

This course has something for every level. This is more of a historical and entertainment series than an educational one (although if you do not know how to handle the bent 4, you will learn). Players will be able to enjoy the amazing shapes that can happen on the goban and the stories behind many of them. This is a must watch if you are interested in that

This series brilliantly captures the essence of Go. It's incredible to see so many beautiful examples come together. While some problems were beyond my ability to solve, that only deepens my appreciation for the game's magic.
