◆ Lecturer's comments
We are happy to announce that we will be offering an online course on the 'Yasashii Desperation' series that we previously taught in the classroom.
Since it is available online, we hope that those who live far away will be able to follow the course easily.
Desperation allows you to develop not only the ability to close, but also the ability to close, which is very effective in improving your late game ability, but it can also be difficult.
The Easy Despair series teaches the basics of despair to advanced students.
The first half (1) to (3) is for those who are trying to get to 3 or 5 moves, those who have started reading my book “200 Ways to Move” (or those who want to read it but find it difficult) and therefore, the main target audience is those in grades 8 to 3, including those who are hesitant.
The last half (4) to (6) is of a slightly higher level and is mainly aimed at students from sixth grade to first grade.
Have you ever had the experience of facing a hopeless problem and not being able to move forward because even after looking at the answer, you couldn't understand why the problem was so hopeless?
I think this course is perfect for those people as well.
In order to overcome this barrier, it is necessary to know several basic desperate forms and understand why this form is desperate = why the next jam will not pass.
In fact, there are several patterns of desperate clichés where the next jam is not acceptable.
In this course, you will learn the basic desperate forms of each of these desperate patterns.
It's a slightly different approach than my book “Yose-no-Tesuji 200”, so I hope you'll find this book an opportunity to read, and I think it will also have a synergistic effect with those who have already worked on it.
Please note that although this course is offered as a series, the content of each session is independent, so there is no problem if you take the course independently.
