We have completed a huge task of searching and choosing the absolute best (worst?) mistakes that secretly plague most kyu players’ games. Tactical mistakes, strategic mistakes, psychological mistakes — this course will help you get rid of possibly the last remaining shackles that slow you down on your way to 1 dan.
This is a direct sequel to the course Typical Mistakes That Wouldn’t Let Us Get Better.
Suitable for: 10–1 kyu
A huge thanks to: Alexander Dinerstein for helping with examples for the course and Marina Ismail-Akhunova for designing the Nutcracker.

The interactions with Nutcracker are so funny! Very helpful lesson, it covers a few mistakes I didn't realize I was making.
Excellent follow up to the first course. Thank you!
A very good approach to most of the mistakes we do when we start playing go and even when we start growing and improving, it shows how much you need to pay attention to some basics mistakes we make while playing. I always like when he shows pro games, some humor and even stories.
This is a great course! Definitely covered most of my mistakes, and I improved quite a bit from before. I also love the humor with the Nutcracker!
A very good course again! Thanks!
There were many common mistakes that kept coming up, making this course very valuable and worth the time. As constructive feedback, I think it would be even better with more detailed explanations, such as how to play against certain opponents, what actions are allowed or not, and which AI prompts work best. That part is especially important.
Awesome course. Great presentation by Vadim and his little nutcracker.
Practical and to the point!
Great course. The nutcracker is the inside voice we all have urging us to make mistakes, and it’s very useful to see how Vadim responds to it.
Great course! Vadim is really such a good teacher. The format of these lessons is also a lot of fun with the holiday theme and the humor. Still quite hard for me in some places.
very nice
nice course
I really enjoyed the course and hope there will be more like it in the future!
there are some errors at the end of the course when i couldn't do the quizzes in the lesson but overall this is a good course for kyu player to improve their games
Very enjoyable course — rich in knowledge and hands‑on practice, all brought together in a single package and immersed in strong cultural themes and references.Also, that darth vader reference at when not to inVADE, not to join them, was awesome. Thanks a lot and may the sente be with you.
identifying mistakes is very important so that we can make fewer of them. great coverage of topics.
Funny, engaging, metaphoric, helpful, grounding.
Highly recommended!
Course is great. I personally do not like the cartoon figure, but this is just personal taste and does not change the positive rating at all
Vadim is a wonderful teacher as usual, but I'm surprised that this course is marked as being suitable for 10kyu and higher. I am 15kyu on OGS and found this lesson extremely helpful and pertinent to my play, and wish I'd watched it sooner instead of being scared off by the high level floor.
