Excellent service, excellent stones

Mateusz provides a very efficient and professional service, with excellent customer care, and the ceramic stones are gorgeous. If you've always wanted some single-convex Yunzi, but found the lead content off-putting, these ceramic stones are perfect; they look and feel very similar to Yunzi, produce a satisfying SNAP when played, and feel very robust - I don't forsee any stones breaking or chipping. Highly recommended.
Jason.

Good reviews!

The game reviews were insightful and you gave players of widely differing skill levels solid advice according to their current understanding. The microphone quality was a bit bad, but that could be easily solved. Thanks for the sessions!

Online game review

Mateusz provided a structured and efficient review of our games. Although more suited for single digit kyu players, I as a double digit player picked a few things as well.

Hi guys! What about Polgote go school?

Hi guys!

I've started training with polgote since July, and I'm very happy to do it! Teachers are really skilled and flexible. During individual lessons they always try to fill my expectations and my needs to improve my go. And they take the time it takes to be sure I understand what they explain, despite the language difficulties.
They are also the commented season games which are interesting cause we can play against serious players and get commentaries from the best Europeans players! And do you know what? It's affordable! In my country I saw the same league system for 200€ a month and there it's only 55€... Well, I haven't needed to hesitate too much.

The only negative aspect I saw for the moment is polite is not enough known for the moment so there are no too many people in the league system, only 2 groups. With more people I could play more game at my level! Teachers, you need to work a better marketing, cause quality alone is not enough!

Guys, maybe see you in the next league!
Bye, bye!

Individual lesson / review with Guzel 2d

I had a lesson with Guzel from polgote.com and have only superlatives to share. Teacher was very well prepared with three of my games already pre-reviewed before we started. Comments were clear, informative and suited for my level (EGF 3k). After we finished, I got a video recording and set of 10 problems, also matching my abilities. I learned a lot. Highly recommended.

I bought a set of bamboo bowls and…

I bought a set of bamboo bowls and glass stones and they were as good as expected. Special note on customer service, which went to even greater extends on delivering the package than what I was expecting them to. I made the order in Poland while visiting there and they managed to work out the delivery even though I didn't have any other address except hotel address and no Polish phone number. I highly recommend their service!

Highly recommended

Each week, we have a game with long time settings against an opponent of similar level. The next day, the game is reviewed, along with other games of the same league. During one cycle (5 weeks), we thus get feedback from 5 different teachers. This is very interesting since the teachers have different styles, and thus different ways of explaining how they think about the game.

All teachers are very competent, between 6d and 2p.

Contrary to other online schools, you don't have extra lectures, and problems (tsumegos) are optional, but this is ideal if you just want to concentrate on game reviews.

A new regard on your own go playing

I have made the two first cycle of the online school part of Polgote and i learn new things every week.

The reviews give you some tips by top Europeans player, some of them are profesionnal. You can ask them some questions during live review to figuring out the part that you don't understand or asking for ideas in different situations.

The atmosphere, teachers and players are friendly, the reviews are recorded in live so they give you some materials for improving by ourself.

I strongly recommand Polgote to player who want to improve at go and who are open to new things.

==> Pour les francophones : J'ai participé aux deux premiers cycles de l'école en ligne Polgote et j'apprend de nouvelles choses chaque semaines.

Les commentaires de parties vous sont proposés par des tops joueurs Européens (certains d'entre eux sont pro), vous pouvez poser vos questions durant les commentaires en directe pour essayer de comprendre pourquoi certaines choses fonctionnent ou non et obtenir de nouvelles idées de jeu.

L'atmosphère et les joueurs sont sympathiques, les commentaires enregistré en directe, il ne vous restes plus qu'à les re-découvrir dans votre coin et travaillé votre go :).

Si vous êtes motiver à progresser et ouvert à de nouvelles idées pour votre go, c'est l'école qu'il vous faut. Les commentaires se font en anglais mais l'école est internationale.

Online Go School, Second Cycle

I took part in the second cycle of the Online Go School (I'm EGF 4dan).
The organisation was nice, the games I played were interesting and my opponents very pleasant.
On top of that the reviews were of great quality and also recorded, so I was able to have a look at the VODs after the review session itself.
All in all I very much recommend polgote's Online Go School!
