Our teaching content mainly consists of:

• Commentary of famous games, both historical and recent professional games.
• Teaching games: simultaneous and personal.
• Lectures on specific topics: Fuseki, middle game, yose, go principles, strategy and attack and defense.

Fuseki

Here we will mainly introduce fuseki commonly used by professionals and high dan amateurs in recent games. Since these are not yet listed in books it might be inconvenient for you to study them on your own, so we think it’s important that we include them in our teaching. We will also emphasize introducing some of the variations following the joseki that appear.

Middle game

The middle game fighting often determines the result of the game. We will introduce some useful skills, and teach you how to control the direction of play during this part of the game.

Yose

We will introduce the most important yose skills, and what you need to know about counting.

Go principles

Basic go principles will be explained, and we will show examples of when they are followed and not followed in games.
