Great course! Would like to see more questions embedded into the videos. Loved time-traveling Vadim XD
Love how you all explain things. Thanks for all the work you do to spread GO
An excellent follow-up to the 13x13 course.
An excellent follow-up to the 9x9 and 13x13 courses. This seems like a course to revisit several times as your skill and experience improves.
These modules alongside Go books have helped my understanding tremendously.
good
A great course for begginers on 19x19
The lessons were very instructive and provided excellent examples of the information being supplied in a manner that reenforced the method and application being provided. The associated quizzes were challenging examples of the lessons being provided while requiring serous analysis to solve.
Another great course! Need to come back to it some time later.
Everythink you need to learn about the basics of Go. And also quite entertaining.
A great overview for someone like me that is approaching the game og Go for the first time! At least now I know how to handle the basics in the 19x19 🙂
A great course with useful and very clear advice. Good job
This is an excellent conclusion to the intro series. Thank you Vadim!
Really great course!
Vadim, you're an outlier lecturer. Thank you so much.
Great course, perfect for ingraining the basics and putting my Go on a solid foundation.
This is one of the best introductory courses on the game of Go that I have seen and I recommend for beginners to go through it multiple times.
Excellent and comprehensive intro to 19x19
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!
This is one of the best courses on Go Magic, it has everything you need to become a stronger player. I really liked it and of course Vadim's way of explaining things and making them easier is amazing. Good job Vadim.
