Modern Go Dojo - Go Genius!

I broke down the exact framework in this simple to follow, Learn Go for Beginner 9x9. I teach anyone from beginners to dan players how to dominate 9x9 or 19x19 in a simple and structured way
If you are a Beginner (DDK), you don't need to memorize any 9x9 joseki. You need a system for close combat, and learn some basic shapes.

This video is just the beginning of Go Genius Guide to 9x9 Go Game.
I have built a complete 9x9 Mastery Course designed to take you from absolute beginner to Dan level, purely by playing on 9x9 Go.
You will learn, basic to advanced fighting patterns, 9x9 opening system, core shapes, to squeezing a win from endgames alone. .

If you’re new here, my name is Tom Chen.
I’m a former Australian Go Champion, multi-time Australian representative, and Go mentor who’s helped students climb faster than traditional Go systems ever allow.
I built Go Genius because most players don’t stagnate due to lack of talent, they stagnate due to bad structure, bad habits, and zero psychological training.
This channel exists to fix that.

Given this is a YT channel, and anyone can claim anything, I’ll give you some stuff you can google to verify below.
