Epic fun

Very helpful lesson that showed me mistakes I was making. The little problem within the lesson was very helpful and helps you stay focused. The emphasis on why certain moves are made helped a lot in understanding the game.

Lessons are very understandable. The exercises are a good mix of known situtions from the video and new problems.

Good emphasis on why! So much of go lessons is “do this” or “don’t do that”. Very nice to get some “why”.

Great course! I’m around 7 kyu. Therefore it wasn’t that difficult, especially knowing already many things. But still there were many things I learned and overall this course strengthened my reasoning behind why certain moves are played or considered good (or vice versa).

This course goes over a number of things and is quite dense with information. It touches on things that look to be expanded upon in later courses. I found the ways to defend your moyo the most interesting and useful as it is something I struggle with in my games.

This is so good and it helps me to learn so it is a bit challenging but it’s good!

Useful course for common learning errors. Focus on issues with both gameplay and learning strategies.

Very useful advice. I'm close to 1dan and I still made a few mistakes in the quizzes. No matter what, fundamentals are always important for all players.

Very instructive. Do you consider adding the kill-all go game to the tools menu ?
