Huang Longshi : légende de sang et de larmes

A nice course that makes you feel connected to the old generation of players. However, I wish you had explained how they thought, why they chose certain moves, what they were known for, whether some moves were mistakes, and how AI evaluates them today. Many moves were shown without enough explanation, so I often didn’t understand why they were played. More context would make the course much better

Good course, very interesting. But I have somehow managed to be at the stated level of this course while it is way above me.

interesting historical course

Vadim once again shares his passion for the game. Part history lesson, part in-depth game review. It’s so fantastic. I also love the courses that include SGF files! I always feel like those are worth their weight in gold.

Yet another amazing course. This time taking us on a deep journey into the fascinating origins of the game

Great course for the historical aspects and for the problems collection

Excellent course if you want to see 17th century masters fight everywhere. Quizzes are extremely difficult. Also provides SGFs and PDFs of his games, and of his endgame problem set which is basically impossible to find outside of China

Great course and games. The problems are quite difficult.

Wonderful lecture by Vadim about the life of this less known go genius, the depth of his reading was amazing, very inspiring! Thank you.

Very interesting to see these magical games from long ago. The reading skills are unbelievable. It's confronting to realize my own shortcomings when it comes to reading the problems. As a 7k, it's still too hard for me to solve most of them, but it's definitely entertaining. Good job Vadim!

Thanks for this, he is my favourite ancient player apart from Dosaku. I wish someone trains katago to play like Longshi and Dosaku and make them face off. On a different note, I'd be really happy if you make a fun course on Legend88. He was not a pro, neither historical, but I've always thought he was Mr. Chang-ho in disguise. And I'll love to see Vadim exploring his games.

Great course! Fascinating and challenging!

Did the game records specify the actual results? are we relying on ai or judgement of pro players.? I enjoyed the story but would be interested in clarity. None the less, this has been fascinating!

These games are WILD, MAN! The course also comes with a good heap of extra material including a huge SGF trove of Longshi's Endgame Go Problems... some of which you will see in GoMagic's Skill Tree. Vadim, my guy, you have such a concise & clear game commentary, fingers crossed for many more years of Magic. SideNote:Xingyou's fluctuations of reading brilliance during game is interesting in itself

Wowee! This was a very challenging program. But it was a lot of fun to learn. Much of this material is way over my head at the moment, so I will have to return to this in a year or so.

Similarly to the Jowa course, it's very fascinating to dive into the ancient history of Go and the course had that in spades, with weird openings, old rules and unusual fights that we might not see that often anymore today. It's clearly a topic that Vadim and the GOMagic crew has a lot of passion for. Less educational to improve your strength in Go but highly inspirational and entertaining. 🙂

would be nice if course are more in depth. nevertheless, enjoyed the review of huang longshi's game!

Love these historical courses! Please do more

Much better than I expected. And it even includes PDFs and SGFs from games and tsumegos at the end.

Great historical course, an impressive great player without AI inspiration !!! And fun reading exercices of Endgame problems. Thanks
