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.

Another great course! Second run, still struggling implementing all that is said here into my games 🙂
Very useful and eye-opening. Takes you to deeper understanding of the game. Great end to the intermediate courses
Great insights! A little uncomfortable to identify with Nutcracker but a path away from nuttiness is made clear. How easy it is to prematurely slip into panic mode with a local squabble when one can coolly play with greater profit elsewhere. Thanks Vadim for the cool advice as well as your cool vibe--makes learning this stuff much easier.
Very good, useful, and understandable lectures. The quizzes were quite good, though even more questions would increase the benefits.
I really like the concrete examples and questions. An improvement suggestion is to have a set of problems, connected to the course, so that you could easily rehearse the course content, through problem solving. But my overall evaluation is: World class! Thanks!
Thank you for very useful techniques !!
Thank you for the course .Just finished it the first time. Definitely worth doing it again several times.
Just finished it the first time. Definitely worth doing it again several times. Applying all of this requires practice.
The toughest course so far... Act 1 was so straight forward and seemed a bit simple. But Act 2 was definitely a lot tougher and something I'll have to revisit a few times to really let the lessons sink in.
It's very clear and helpful!
Another immensely helpful course. Many thanks!
There was so much fantastic content in this course I will likely retake it again soon!
It is very helpful and fun!
Explained in very simple and easy to understand way.
wow
Looking over the content list, I wasn't expecting much, but as always, GM has a way of reaching many skill lvls in their vids. Most of this course is about thinking before you play & opponent's reaction. The Aji lesson is a good breach into the Probing&Attachment courses. Lssn lengths are thicc so lots of thorough content. Also, the Nutcracker(odd mascot choice) is growing on me & got a few laughs
Definitely some useful things in this course, which I will try to internalise and then use in my games. On the whole, very good, with the typical high quality production that we've come to know and expect from the Go Magic team.
This course was helpful. I know that I make a ton of these mistakes in most of my games. The First Act was easier to follow than the Second Act. The chapter on Aji was by far the most difficult for me to understand. Guess I need more practice!
Everything was great except the lesson on shape. Instead of a lecture about good and bad shape, it was a music video of different shapes dancing around the board. I paid for this course thinking I would learn about shape, but I couldn't really learn anything from that video. Then after no explanation of good or bad shape, there was still a quiz at the end.
Great course, replay ability and for anyone looking to move towards the Dan level This has been a immense help after not playing for 10 years to get back into it, daily go problems and the mistake videos 1 and 2 and have improved by 2 stones in 1 month from 7kyu to 5 kyu, highly recommended.
