Fuseki is the most creative and enigmatic part of the game. There are thousands of options and you never know what this or that move will lead to. How to build a strategy at the beginning of the game?
In this course you will discover which moves in the opening are considered big and which ones are even more important than that. We will take a look at efficiency, choosing a favorite opening and some of the ideas behind the classic opening moves.

This is where the course devolves into deepities (AKA proverbs) and anecdotes, rather than teach methods and strategies. Also some AI hot-takes. The quizzes are out of touch, because you obviously can't solve them by intuition/improvising. The best advice it gives is a self-own: don't watch video lectures, play real games.
This was very helpful. Touched on a lot of common issues I had.
Really helped me see the bigger picture, understand a lot of fundamentals and being exactly deep enough not to fall into the trap of over-theorizing.
Vadim really simplifies opening theory while still reinforcing fundamentals of other parts of the game. Fantastic course.
I still have a long way to GO, but it’s been a really good introduction to the openings!
The course was great and informative. I feel like the quizzes could have been better. Many of the problems contradicted the material from the video
I got much more confident in my opening moves. Still some more exercises would have been great.
This course has so far been the one which helped my game the most. I don't feel completely lost in the opening now.
Definitely good ! Wish it had more quizzes, though. Not because they are bad, but just to get more practice. I like the explanations given when doing the quizzes.
Excellent. I was especially interested by the second part.
Thank you.
Exellent...
I liked the historical point of view. Thanks
good course, even for someone who is weaker than the target skill range
great course
Underrated course. You can really set yourself up well for the game with a strong opening. I really liked the video with the AI suggestions and how it transformed the Josekis over the years.
An excellent course (as usual with Go Magic)!
Great course! I'll need to come back when I've had more experience
Really good course that organize my understanding of opening.
This course is quite comprehensive—it covers the basic priority system in the early game, compares classic openings and AI approaches, as well as non-standard solutions.
