Go lessons in Russian

Russian-speaking players are the strongest in the Western Go world. The scene across Russia and the former Soviet states has produced multiple European champions and a depth of strong players no other region outside Asia can match. And yet even that level sits a clear step below the Korean and Chinese professionals at the very top of the game.

Live translation lets you cross that last step in Russian. Your teacher coaches in their own language while captions render every word into Russian on the shared board, and your questions go back in theirs. You study with a professional above anything the local scene offers, and keep Russian for the part that matters most: understanding precisely why a move is wrong and what to play instead.

Every teacher here is pro-level or stronger, with the exact rank on each profile.

Common questions

Do I need to speak the teacher's language?

No. The lesson reaches you in Russian through live captions, and your questions are translated back. Russian is all you need.

Who are the teachers?

Professional and pro-level players, mostly from Korea and China — the level above even the strong Russian-speaking scene, made available to you in Russian through translation.
