A really great all-in-one platform
A really great all-in-one platform which seems to have a genuine interest in spreading knowledge and the joy with Go to as many as possible. Everyone I've interacted with has been super helpful and kind, and I'm looking forward to using the platform for a long time.
Currently the best online Go education available
To my knowledge, the greatest online Go education available. The clearly spent a lot of time creating those videos, they're very clearly explained, and also technical it looks very professional. The video's are interspersed with quizzes to check if you understood the material, and these go beyond tsumegos. They were also very responsive on their Discord channel when I still had questions. Happy with my subscription, and I'll likely extend it when it expires.

Vadim is a wonderful instructor
Vadim is a wonderful instructor. His passion for Go, and music, show through. The tangents he goes on, shapes as musical tones, make it feel like you're in the room. The Skill Tree is excellent and I keep finding myself making time to "do one more problem set". I'm enjoying Go and learning significantly more. What could be better value? The fact that the quick lessons [5-15 minutes] have quizzes embedded keeps me engaged. If you might be tested on "everything", it's easier to focus.
I'm delighted with the site. Gold Member.
Why GoMagic is the best!!!
I've been using GoMagic since the platform first launched the beta.
And since then I've seen them become the best go platform.
Great courses at affordable pricing, best collection of tsumegos and it's increasing.
And personally I use the club subscription they offer. As a group of less than 10 people, it's hard for us to hire teachers and buy courses, and GoMagic has been there for us since they launched the club program.
With the courses and specifically with the unlimited skill tree, all of us can use the skill tree without worrying about the limits. Honestly GoMagic have been one of the few people/platforms that helped me become a 2kyu from 12kyu, along with a few others who have become 8/9 kyus, and others who are close to 10 kyu now.
If you're not using GoMagic in your go study you're missing out. Don't wait and just create an account, the free stuff is amazing for personal use, and join our discord as well, GoMagic community is full of great people who can help you with reviews and suggestions, you can join the GoMagic league as well and win nice prizes!!!! I personally like the surgeon blade title from the league 😉
Hope to see you in the Magical discord server.
Have a nice time!!!
A refined and modern GO teaching
The content quality is really high, the lessons give a good theoretical basis to understand but at the same time they do not delve too much in technicalities. The enthusiasm from the teacher is really nice plus,
The place I was looking for !
Simple and insightful lessons. Several exercises to practice what you have learned. Progress in an orderly manner. And everything in a fun way. All in all delightful !
Which videos, which tier?
The videos are as good as they could possibly be. Unfortunately it's not quite clear before subscribing which ones are available at which tier of membership. Nor are they listed in a self-evident systematic hierarchy, so I have found myself skipping around probably more than I should. Nonetheless, it's a terrific tribute to an extraordinary game.

Great
As a Go Club leader, Go Magic has allowed me to have more resources to teach my fellow club members, as well as improve my own level. I specially liked the Go Shapes course. I would definitely recommend it!
Very well organized course structure.
The best thing about Gomagic is the interactive courses. It really helped me when I started playing Go.
They also have skill tree with a large collection of problems to solve. This is a very fun way to learn Go.
High quality
High quality, clearly explained lessons with a good variety for multiple skill levels.
One thing I would love to see is a very detailed joseki explorer and more importantly, a way to test your joseki knowledge. There are many joseki explorers, but they are all lacking in some ways and I have to find the equivalent of tsumego for joseki.
I signed for the Silver membership
I signed for the Silver membership. I have not finished the free courses for this category but I like the way the interactive quiz is organized. It is fun and very helpful. This is unlike other platforms that simply give a correct/incorrect response.
Quality Go courses
Go magic is the best way that I've found to learn Go. They make a daunting and complex game easy and fun to learn.
Great way of studying Go

Quality learning material!
I enjoy the interactive lessons and skill tree on Go Magic, it's a great way to stay engaged.
Course is fantastic
Course is fantastic, tons of fun and very easy quizes. However don’t get swept away by the quizes - play on OGS. get the experience under your belt and keep using the quizes for focused training.
An Engaging and Comprehensive Journey into the World of Go
I recently took a Go course and it was an excellent experience. The course provided a comprehensive introduction to the game, covering both basic and advanced strategies. The instructors were knowledgeable and passionate, making the lessons engaging and easy to follow. The use of interactive tutorials and real game scenarios helped in understanding the complexities of Go. Additionally, the course offered plenty of practice opportunities, which was invaluable for improving my skills. I highly recommend these Go courses to anyone interested in mastering this fascinating game.
Great courses and many grouped problems
Great courses with problems to solve. Skill tree - you will not miss any important aspect of the game.
