Interactive

I love how Go Magic motivates you to learn more about go. Not only does it have great lessons with helpful problems throughout, but it has a skill tree broken down to help you build your skills in various areas, and it keeps track of your skill in those areas, as well as encouraging you with XP and coins. I love how it gamifies the learning experience while combining that with great learning opportunities.

Best Go Platform

Go Magic was the best educational Go platform I found. The courses are extremely informative and very helpful. They helped me understand numerous things that confused me when I started Go. I would recommend Go Magic to anyone.
While the quality of the courses is amazing, I find that the pricing is a bit too high, but I understand that Go Magic’s targeted audience is small.

a great Site and good deal

I like that I can do 3 months to see if it works for me, not automatic renewal. I really am enjoying being introduced to Go, whether or not I pursue it long term.

Best Go learning platform, for beginners/intermediates

They have an awesome, modern platform to learn the game of Go with a nice skill tree, well produced courses, a fun gamified way of unlocking coupons or special courses and a helpful support. And Vadim, one of the creators, seems so sympathetic in his lectures, too! :)

Amazing introduction to the world of Go!

The courses are well paced, well sized, precise and has really well made quizes.
The gamification is a great way to keep people engaged.
The skill tree needs more puzzles but I know you're already on it.
You also need a good Tsumego course which is also being made as per my knowledge.
The discord server is great and has a lot of good members.
So now it's all about increasing your library of courses over time and having a more comprehensive knowledge base.
Maybe you could have a blog post or resource page about further reading or other sources and providing a syllabus of sorts.

Highly motivating and educational

Highly motivating and educational. The mix of graded problems and well structured and informative courses make Go Magic a great resource for self-learners or those simply trying to get ahead.

Great for Getting Into Go

As a Go beginner, Go Magic is a friendly, understandable, and organized way to enter into the game. The people behind Go Magic clearly love the game - and that grows my love for the game. The skill tree is also a great way to try to improve bit by bit every day.

A great site

A great site. I wish there were more quizzes during/after the video lessons though. Otherwise this is exactly what I needed in order to go up by a few stones. If I stick with it I could go up by several ranks. Congratulations! Oh and Vadim Efimenko is a gem!

Hello!

Thank you so much for the kind words! We are happy to hear that Go Magic is helping you level up your skills. 😊

Regarding your feedback on quizzes, you can actually retake them to practice further. We intentionally set a limit on the number of attempts for each problem to encourage users to think more deeply and carefully about every move.

We are always looking to improve, so we'd love to know: is there anything else we could do to make your experience even better and earn that 5th star from you?

Go Magic is fun and supports serious students

Go Magic is the best online learning platform I've seen. Not only does it offer numerous problems, but the problems are well chosen to drive progressively deeper insight. The courses are well-paced and clearly explained. While many other Go learning platforms have a steep learning curve (or no explanations at all), Go Magic assumes no prior knowledge while respecting the diligent student's journey.

A real online learning

I have been using Go Magic for 2 years and I am really happy with it. You are not just learning how to play go, but also learning about go history and in the world, keeping track of world event as well.

Hi there! Thanks for your review and for sticking with us as we grow.

We hear you on the library size and subscription content. It's worth noting that while many new courses debut in the Magic tier, they often become available for Gold and Silver members later on. We are also filming and releasing new content constantly to expand the library for everyone.

To help us improve further, is there a specific topic or feature missing that would convince you to give us that 5th star? We’d love to know what would bridge the gap for you!
