Helpful even for single digit kyu. The lessons give good local and global reasoning why these common mistakes are so bad. I appreciate that the problems take the reading and concepts even further, with some of the quizzes really requiring some critical thinking. The categorization of the mistakes gives a good rule of thumb for what types of situations to avoid.

I think this was a great trial course, so u know what to expect if you want to get in the premium ones. It has a very high quality and compared to just watching yt videos, this gave me quite a different perspective on the topics. I think the quizzes are very good balance of reminding the problems discussed in the videos and new often complex problems. I'm definitely going premium (:

Everything this guys do is amazing

As the courses progress the quizzes become more and more detached. They require blind repetition of the moves in the lecture, or give problems beyond the course contents. Vadim keeps justifying move with "can live/has space to live", but there was no lecture which properly taught how to judge when a corner/territory can or cannot live. The student is left with "magic" rules without understanding.

Good small course, second line move is a nice one!

I’m one of the players who tends to avoid second line moves in general. This course has helped me reconsider this bad habit.

Perfect lesson to improve quickly from ddk to sdk. Nice interactive content.

I really enjoy the problem sets that come after the videos--they throw nice curveballs and are really helpful for teasing out the principles from the lesson in (I hope!) practical settings.

A course worth watching more than once.
