Welcome to the updated “Fundamentals of Go on 13×13” course.

This course is the perfect starting point for beginners who have just learned the rules of Go and are looking to understand the basics of strategy and tactics on a 13×13 board. It’s an essential foundation that will also prepare you for playing on the more complex 19×19 board.

Once you’re comfortable with the material in this course, we recommend progressing to the more advanced Deeper into the game of Go on 19×19, which is the final course of our elementary trilogy designed to guide you from not knowing the rules to mastering the fundamentals and reaching a solid 12-10 kyu level.

Don’t forget to check out our beginner’s guide for more helpful tips and information.

The video lessons (without quizzes) are freely available on our YouTube channel.

You can also purchase the full course with quizzes using GM coins in the Store.

Excellent course. After completing it, I now have some ideas of how to go about playing a game and winning, or at least understanding my mistakes. There is still so much to learn!

As a beginner, I often make mistakes, but this course really helped me improve. It is extremely pedagogical, giving a clear approach to understanding the board and building solid foundations. Exercises within the videos reinforce learning, helping to grasp even complex concepts. Quizzes are linked to the skill tree, allowing easy back-and-forth to practice and fully understand what you’re doing.

I’m amazed at how effectively this course guides a complete beginner like myself. It addressed every challenge I used to struggle with on my own. What a didactic! Thank you so much.

This is great stuff! Some lessons cover the very basics, which can be a bit redundant, but the course really helps building a solid foundation.
