Learn from China's professional and pro-level players
China has the deepest bench in professional Go today: more strong professionals than anywhere else, trained in a system known for its rigor on reading and fighting. Weiqi began in China more than two thousand years ago, and the country's standing at the top of the game comes from how hard and how systematically its players are trained. Learning from that tradition means picking up its thoroughness.
Every teacher on this page plays at professional level. Some hold professional certification (rank 1p–9p); others are high-dan amateurs strong enough to trade games with pros. Each profile shows the exact rank, so you always know who you are booking.
Language is no barrier
A Chinese teacher can coach you in Mandarin or Cantonese while live captions translate every word into your language on the shared board. You don't need to speak Chinese to study with the strongest Go nation's players. You read along in your own language, including the close reading of a fight or a life-and-death position where precise wording matters most.
What you work on
Bring a game, a rank goal, or a part of your play that keeps costing you. A pro-level teacher reads the position with you in real time and names what a weaker eye misses: the move that only looks big, the fight you should have left alone, the reading you stopped one move too early.
Common questions
Do I need to speak Chinese?
No. Live captions translate the lesson into your language as your teacher speaks. Mandarin and Cantonese teachers are both available, and you can filter by the one you want.
Are these teachers certified professionals?
Some are certified professionals (rank shown as 1p–9p); the rest are high-dan amateurs who play at professional level. Every profile shows the exact rank, so the distinction is always visible.
How is this different from the Chinese lessons page?
The Chinese lessons page is about the language your lesson is delivered in. This page is about the teacher's strength and tradition: the elite of the strongest Go nation, available to you in any language through live translation.
