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.

As a beginner, this helped quite a lot covering some common questions I make myself. Learning how to prevent invasions where you should be strong keeps frustration away

I'm roughly an 8k, and this is still so beneficial just to point out the gaps that still exist in my learning.

Hello Go Magic Team, what a beautiful way you teach Go.

Thank you for very useful techniques !!

Highly recommend! I found that the focus of the lecture isn't 100% congruent with the practice. For example, the premature endgame lecture focuses on not missing chances to make big points by over-securing small points in the opening, but the practice focused on gauging if a corner is in danger, before securing additional territory. Both are important topics, but some connective tissue is missing.
