This is exactly what I needed! I didn't even know that before starting the course. These concepts are the ones I needed to learn and use in my games. Especially the part "do not tenuki when the midgame fight started", 'cause I tend to do that a lot. Explanation on game types and how to handle them was also very useful. Thank you so much!

I like and enjoy Matthew, but this one was not for me and felt too basic and light on insight (I'm 6-8k). The definition of the middle game given here also feels arbitrary and not sufficient. After about 20 minutes I felt like I had still not learned much. I wish the course was more dense with insights, principles, problems and went into more topics that are central to mid-game play.

The course was good, with an engaging teaching style, and it gave us a basic idea of how to play the opening and the middle game. As constructive feedback, I felt it lacked detailed explanations. It also didn't clearly explain when the middle game begins or, more importantly, how to play it, especially around move 130, which is the most critical part. Overall, it was still a good course.

Great course! Matthew is a very entertaining teacher. It's quite hard to judge when exactly the middle game starts, so this definitely helped a bit. The territorial vs moyo-oriented part was also very helpful!

Loved this course! I'm still not very good at recognizing when the middlegame begins, but at least I have some useful guidelines now. I also learned a lot from the game reviews of professional players. I hope there will be even more of those later. 😀

Great course, I wish it would have lasted another 20 lessons!

Good course. Matthew is a fun teacher with a good personality. The subject was interesting, challenging and useful. The technical difficulties in sound and video editing were funny but really should be cleaned up. Too distracting and unprofessional to let slide.

This go teacher is both funny, interesting and passionate. This gave me lot of energy to enjoy Go ! Thanks guys for this unique and funny video editing too

This is a great course, but the cuts in the videos are a little disorienting.

some parts are a bit slow ; interesting historical aspects

While the 19 X 19 quizzes were difficult on a phone (a tablet would be ideal for these), the content of the course is fantastic! Matt does a great job introducing these concepts. I would love to know more about modern Joseki in a future course. In the meantime, I’ll be starting his direction of play course immediately. Excellent.

The middle game is a bear attack you cannot run away from and survive. It is the wild west. I appreciate these lessons in how important it is to be sensitive to when the opening is over and how vital it is to know what kind of game you are playing to adapt accordingly. The comparison between old territorial styles and modern quick play was interesting. Thanks!

I got a lot from this course. I'm right around 10 kyu, and middle game is one of my weakest skills. This course will be one I revisit multiple times.

I love how this guy explains things, he is so funny and engaging! The wild west vibe was great. The course mainly focused on spotting when the middle game begins and I think it can really help in making good decisions. However I feel like it could be much shorter. Sometimes there was a lot of talking but not much content to it. But I liked it anyway and will watch more Matthew's courses for sure.

Excellent course that improved both my understanding of the middlegame and also the opening

Matthew's courses are always great and unique. This one starts "slow" with some important abstract concepts that while exemplified on the board are still harder to understand or accept. But after, subsequent lessons really drive the point home. A lot of examples from meaningful games and though process explanation, also very rich in useful problems.

Good course

Found the lectures insightful and the problems and quizzes engaging. Learned a lot and am looking forward to revisiting it in the future.

Amazing course and great video editing too. So many deep thoughts after finishing.

Great material. A lot of harder fundamentals for the middlegame get explained in an easy to understand way. Also has a great part about AI and new moves. Changed how I play and elevated my game because it presents little parts of the whole one can just try in their games and slowly adapt instead of forcing whole concepts. Highly recommend.
