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.

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 ?

Putting the theory into practice in the quizes proved sometimes challenging for me. Some of them required to read at least 4 moves ahead and for a complete novice that doesn't know how to prune the reading tree, this is hard. So, I need to improve my reading skills before I can really decide if it's endgame or urgent.
