A Great Way to Learn Go

It's a well laid out website and the progressive lessons have helped to improve my game. I especially like the problems and quizzes that are interspersed in the video lessons to reinforce what is being taught.

Best way for interactively learning Go

I appreciate book knowledge, declarative conscious knowledge important for supervising the decision making process. The problem is that most Go knowledge is tacit, procedural and in form of intuition. This is enhanced by play and tsumego. Go Magic bridges the gap to give the best of both worlds and this is what I find invaluable as a teaching method.

Thank you Go Magic!

Go Magic is extremely inclusive and amazing! I have learned a lot about the game and learned to think in different ways. Go Magic has such an incredible environment for both learning and meeting new people. And to everyone that works so hard to keep Go Magic up and running, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You are all so awesome!

Always growing

The company is always adding new courses, and the nice thing is that they let members vote on which courses come next. The content library is already solid, and it's only getting larger from here.

Great content

Great content, quizzes during lessons are really helpful, and summary quizzes make a lot of sense while learning. Recommending to anyone that wants to be serious about learning Go.

Go Magic is an awesome platform

Go Magic is an awesome platform if you’re looking to dive into Go or improve your skills. I signed up thanks to their anniversary deal, and it’s been totally worth it. The site combines step-by-step courses with plenty of hands-on practice through interactive quizzes and games. From learning the basics on smaller boards like 9×9 and 13×13, to taking on the full 19×19 board, Go Magic really covers everything you need in a way that’s not overwhelming​

The “Skill Tree” is loaded with Go problems that help reinforce the lessons, and there’s a recommended practice plan that guides you to get the most out of your studies. Plus, Go Magic has a great community on their Discord server.

They’ve even got free content like YouTube videos and articles, which is cool if you’re not ready to commit to a subscription. But if you do go premium, you unlock even more in-depth content that’s structured to help you reach higher ranks. For anyone looking to take their Go skills to the next level, Go Magic is a fantastic choice.
