I mostly took this to see what the courses on this site are like. I'm a 1 dan player, so I'm not exactly target audience of this course. I was happy that some of the content is still relevant. In some of the premature endgame situations I would be hesitant to ignore. I also sometimes play the "imaginary nets" because I expect them to lead to a good squeeze, but I should think about them more.

Thanks – I’m getting old, and meanwhile I’m falling behind, i.e. my rank is declining. Therefore it’s very nice to be able freshen up my Go skills here, and Vadim is such a great teacher: all his courses that I have taken so far were not just factual and educational but also highly enjoyable, that’s what makes a good teacher: not just the facts but also FUN.

Great work. I see my friend makes the automatic atari mistake. Good work. Any one who knows the rules needs this.

This lesson was presented with several humorous examples that make it easier to remember the key concepts/mistakes. It helped me tremendously in game preparation as well.

Me encanto le curso! Me gusta mucho la forma que tiene Vladimir de enseñar, soy su fan! Actualmente me encuentro levantando un espacio de go en mi ciudad natal, San Antonio, Chile y Go magic ha sido un gran apoyo para acercar el go a la gente. GRACIAS!

I think the topic of this video, that is, avoiding mistakes, is a very good choice. Even though it was a little beyond my skill level, I still found instructive. But I will need to rewatch it. It wasn’t until I completed the course that I noticed it was most suitable for 17 to 10 kyu players. I must have missed that.

A perfect gap-filling course after the Beginner Courses (Rules, 13x13 and 19x19) and the Game Review course. Touched on all the points I was having trouble with in my games. I'll probably revisit this course multiple times in the future.

these were some great lessons. I'll have to practice a lot before I'll always spot the necessary moves though.
