YOUR TEACHER
George Gigoi,
Kango9
Hello and welcome! My name is George Gigoi and I have been playing Go for over 12 years. I have extensive experience teaching both children and adults online, helping students from 20 kyu all the way up to 3 dan reach their personal goals. My approach blends strategic depth with patient, clear explanations so you can actually feel your strength grow with every game.
WHY GO
Six reasons to play Go
Strategic Thinking
01Develop long-term planning and learn how to evaluate complex positions multiple moves ahead.
Problem Solving
02Sharpen your ability to break down problems and find creative solutions under pressure.
Patience & Discipline
03Train the calm focus required to play strong moves instead of reactive ones.
Deep Concentration
04Build the kind of attention span that benefits every area of your life and work.
Adaptability
05Learn to adjust your plan when your opponent surprises you, a vital real-world skill.
Emotional Resilience
06Master your emotions during difficult games and turn losses into your biggest lessons.
