Typical Mistakes That Wouldn’t Let Us Get Better

I love Vadim's no-BS, yet entertaining style of teaching and it was great to re-inforce things I learned many years ago but still do not fully honor during my games 🙂

I give it 5 stars because the production values are outstanding and the instructor is awesome. But toward the end of the course, the quizzes became rather confusing. There was little distinction in the problems urging one solution vs the other. And the course itself did not draw on such distinctions nearly as much as required to unravel the various "correct" replies. That was disappointing.

Helped me see what errors I do regularly.

I believe I make almost all of these mistakes, I only fixed my automatic ataris and deadly descents. It will take a lot of time to absorb all the tips into my game. It's a great course!

Very helpful practical tips on how to avoid typical mistakes made by beginners.

Some very helpful tips here. A few things were a bit complex and I made a lot of errors in the puzzles so definitely one worth coming back to once I am more familiar with the game.

Very useful and I would have liked to learn the simpler ideas even earlier in the course.

Really useful !

Indeed, I find myself still making some of these mistakes sometimes. The bonus section was especially helpful, sometimes I tenuki when I am not yet safe, other times I play a move when it wasn't needed. This is great for visualizing that in the opening

Rank is 15 kyu at the time of writing. Clearly explained concepts, didn't get into the weeds at all. Quizzes are well made, and on the harder side for me. In my opinion, both the videos and quizzes are missing the opportunity to fully demonstrate corrections to a beginners' mistakes, and the punishments for them. Thanks for the course!

Actually still somewhat useful after 10 kuy rank when you had a break from the game.

I really enjoyed these lessons and quizzes—they were clear, practical, and packed with useful insights. I feel like I learned a lot, especially from the way the examples were explained step by step. Definitely helped me see the game from new perspectives!

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.

This course helped me fix a few of the biggest flaws in my games.

Useful even after 200 games!

good

very helpful and it is prepared very well.

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.
