Nice course! It’s a well composed extension from the other entry level lessons. If you have a good feel for the 13x13 this is a good course to help you leap into the world of 19x19 by establishing good fundamentals in each facet of the game, while decoding the puzzling and sometimes stressful openness of the full board.
This course was great after 13x13 course. The transition on a 19×19 was a bit overwhelming. But this class broke things down and made it manageable. The instructor emphasized practical direction of play, shape, and whole-board thinking—without getting bogged down in endless variations.
This is an amazing deeper dive into the intricacies of Go.
Useful even after 200 games
The course should not be titled „Deeper in 19*19“, because many techniques are for all board sizes. The videos should be chopped more often in smaller pieces: Ten minutes or more without a small exercise felt too passive. The exercises are sometimes really disconnected from the videos. Ghost Mode and Seki were excellent, though.
Great Course!! Excellent explanations Best regard
So far, just the most important course on this platform!
Great Course for 20-15 kyu players. Teaches important fundamental concepts, strategies and techniques. Together with the exercises from the skill tree, this really helped me to advance past 15 kyu. I would recommend going through the course at least twice. Looking forward to the next course!
This class was exactly what I needed to start making real progress. I’ve mostly played on 9×9 and 13×13 boards, so moving to 19×19 felt overwhelming at first. But this course broke things down in a way that made it feel not only manageable—but exciting. The instructors focused on practical direction of play, shape, and whole-board thinking without getting lost in endless variations.
Great increase in complexity and difficulty regarding the problems and concepts comparing to the 9x9 and 13x13 courses. Well worth it!
I really loved this course! It helped me grasp the main things that i should look out for in the game and now I am less confused what to do)))
Great course! I'll come back to this to ensure I internalized everything!
Excellent course. Should have a "remake" version, too!
Great! But I would love to see more explanation on the quizzes. And a possibility so play the quizzed till the end, if I got them wrong.
Great course, felt that some topics are covered too fast, but they are probably covered in further video. So it feels really like a 101 course. But the quality is here with great learning. Also appreciate the extra videos about where to play and some stuff around go in general!
Another course I'll need to take again. As well as using Ghost Mode on the skill tree. It was sad.
learned a lot
I learned so much! Great!
Very in depth.
More challenging than the 9x9 and 13x13 courses (regarding the exercises) but nevertheless easy to follow and full of entertaining anectodes and extra info. Hopefully this will help me finding the courage to finally start playing 19x19 games!
