This is a great course, and absolutely helped me feel more comfortable with playing on 19x19. I'm really looking forward to this one getting the upgrade treatment that 13x13 got
Love the catchy way the dialogues (yeah, don´t wanna mean monologues) with Vadim, and practical exercises right after the explanation, encourage us to reconsider theory, attitude and mindsetting. Just would like wider refutations after my answers, to profit. I truly appreciate all the effort put into producing and transmitting all the content. It was a beautiful conversation, just as it was taught
I like the progressive nature of the course and the quality of the lectures. It has improved my game. However, for a few of the problems I was quite unclear as to why the correct moves were correct. Perhaps some link to the lectures [as in "for an explanation, see time stamp X of video Y" would help as otherwise I don't think I really learned anything from my mistakes.
Great course and great teacher but the quizzes and exercises would gain to have a little explanation on why a move/sequence is correct or why it's not
Very educational; I learned a lot!
Vadim is such a great teacher. His teaching style is outstanding. I wish for many more courses with him.
Great course
A lot to comprehend at once, maybe i start all over again.
As someone with learning difficulty its so help helpful to have the game scenarios, and its also insightful when one hears new idea and concept one might have forgotten
another great foundations course
What I would sometimes like to see in some puzzles is a better explanation of why this particular “one” move is bad.
Excellent !
I'm only a couple weeks into my Go journey - I'm so grateful I found Go Magic. Thanks for the courses, Vadim.
Excellent continuation of the 13x13 one.
This is an excellent course for those who want to start playing on a 19x19 board.
I have finally started to move on from 13x13 and I am improving a lot thanks to your in-depth videos and quizzes. You are the best sensei.
Great way to explain the principles of the game! I really appreciate the humorous way, the lessons... Thanks Vadim!
Gotta love the way Vadim explains everything, this course was amazing! everything is perfectly explained, looking forward to take my next course once I feel confident with all these concepts
Awesome lessons for a beginner like me. I am so grateful that you created this website and recorded all those videos. Bless you :pray:
Very helpful course which really pushes your level forward
