What a great course ! VERY USEFULL. I really liked the 2 last chapter on IA and Strange opening. I would have loved some example of start of the game with the 5-5 or the tengen or the wall in the center. How solid could it be ? Incredibly fun at least ;).

Very helpful, but I would like simple quizzes (at least on the historical openings) for the second part of the course.

I know I'm fairly new to Go, but I find myself saying it yet again...another course I'll need to take a few more times. There's soooo much information that is being covered.

Fantastic course. It teaches all the principles in a way that prevents from getting attached to them, keeping the game of Go dynamic and alive. You learn to think for yourselves as well as relying on principles when you are lost. I highly recommend this course.

I enjoyed the course. It has a lot of good, practical information I've been able to apply immediately in my latest games and my game reviews. Having the 5 tiers in mind, helps keep me focused and better able to select solid, big moves consistently. I especially liked the section on urgent before big moves; this idea will help in all stages of the game.
