If you’ve ever wondered what mysteries are hidden within the game of Go, then this course will answer your question. Peculiar ko fights, extraordinary tesujis, rules disputes and more. Welcome to the world of uncharted and magical Go.

Originally this was a series of videos on YouTube, but we’ve put some extra content into videos 6 and 7, made a few extra episodes and added problems to solve after each one of them — and that’s how this course was born.

Suitable for: 12k–9d. The course topics are so diverse and unusual that they can be interesting for all players regardless of their level of strength.

We publish all reviews; the coins for a review never depend on its rating. How reviews work
  • To write a review, a learner must be enrolled in the course and have completed at least one lesson or topic. Earlier reviews needed enrolment only.
  • We publish every review at once, whatever its rating, and remove only spam, insults and personal data.
  • One review per course; its author can edit or delete it at any time.
  • A learner gets 20 coins (the site's points) once per course, for a review with at least 30 characters of text, whatever the rating.
  • The average is the plain mean of all ratings. Reviews in your language come first, then those other learners marked helpful (marks on newer reviews count for more), then those with text, newest first.
  • Next to newer reviews we show the author's estimated rank on the site and how much of the course they had completed when they last wrote or edited the review.
  • The course's teachers and our team may reply to a review publicly.
  • To report a review, write to [email protected].

    Perfecr! Very peculiar situations, hope to encounter one of them someday in my games :) as always, Vadim delivers a nice and smooth and engaging courses, very well done technically. One caveat - the quizes in between the lessons were pretty hard for me!

    This is literally my favorite course so far. I never imagined so many different kinds of beautiful situations in go! I bought lifetime access and it was totally worth it!

    Honestly I never expected this much creativity in the game of Go. It is literally puzzles and brilliant ideas and nothing is more enjoyable. I wish you explained every branch of each puzzle so we can understand and enjoy more: why this variation does not work, why the correct line must be this way, and give us core thinking principles on how we should think and solve these amazing puzzles.
