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.

Wonderful course! videos were straightforward, clear, clearly-edited with lots of useful info
Another excellent course from Vadim! When I took the original course a couple months ago I struggled with some of the endgame problems. The remaster was all the motivation I needed to retake it, and It's nice to see how much I've improved since then (99% this time around 😁)
Goood
Excellent instruction at a pace that is slow enough but not too slow. 🙂
Genial.
A good continuation on the free one and luckily purchasable with coins, wish the next one could have been bought with coins as well for a good starter trilogy.
amazing
The content of this course was highly valuable, proving to be very beneficial for me.
it opends my eye for go. excellent
Very nice i like your course but i dont like that you tricked me with one question
At the beginning it was difficult for me to understand some strategies or principles. Over time, however, I internalized them and I can easily recognize certain motifs, such as seki or snapback. It will still be a long and rocky road, but this course is a very good start.
There are slight mistakes in the course examples, but overall, it is a good course at its intended level. I appreciated it as a dan without proper theory learning. For example, no eye can be a seki with one eye too if it is in-between the two one eye groups. The lecturer should correct that mistake, it is very slight, but a mistake nonetheless. He shouldn't forget the exceptions when teaching.
In only a few days I was a total beginner at 25kyu and now I am at 19kyu. I have beaten the players that were smashing me when I was a beginner and I am gaining a feel for 13x13. I want to sharpen up my skills and progress to 19x19 now. Thank you so much for this course.
Well preparing to the 13x13. Great course!
All you need to know before playing a 13x13 !
