It is literally beneficial course to avoid some mistakes, defending and attacking moyo, and to learn some tesujis and yose moves.

Another Masterclass from Vadim. A couple of hours of course, worth tens of hours of less efficient study for beginners. You have my utmost support, your Go beacon lights the way.

Really good stuff. I usually do 1 or 2 lessons in between games and try to use the things I've learned. It's improved my game and has made it more fun

Vadim Efimenko hypnotizes my brain through his wizardly hand gestures, forcing me to play better moves. I did like this course. Vadim is a clear and giving teacher which comes through in the videos, the platform of the follow-up interactive tests is well designed. I find it fun and useful to reinforce the lessons by taking the tests.

A concept is introduced in the lecture part, and I expect to have to apply it in the quiz. That certainly is the case for some of the quiz questions, but just as many require you to recognize that the concept is not applicable. Very effective!

Great course, just like the others. I felt there were quite a more special terms that were not defined.

This course was a little more difficult to follow, but it may be because I am still a beginner, and I am missing some other fundamentals. After watching the videos, I tried the challenges a couple of times, and I simply could not understand why I was missing. I thought I'd understood a concept and put it into practice, but then there was some little detail that I'd missed, and I got them wrong.

Good content thank you.

Played along on a real board and I do recognize most mistakes. Now I just have to learn to not repeat them in my matches.

A must-see for DDK players. A good refresher for stronger players as well.
