Go lesson with Abda 5d EGF
My name is Abdallah Mezouar, 5th Dan EGF (European Go Federation). I started playing Go in November 2015 — already 10 years ago!
I offer private lessons from beginner to 3rd Dan level, and I have been teaching Go in group settings since early September at the Grenoble Go Club, within the Dojo de la Marmotte. I have experience running introduction sessions in after-school programs, as well as deeper coaching up to 1st Dan level (2025 National Youth Congress in Combloux, Masterclass at the Grenoble Go Club). I have also been offering private lessons for about a year.
I offer two types of lessons:
Commented Games We play a serious, pedagogically focused game followed by a full commentary (Time setting: 20 min + 3×30 sec). Playing against stronger opponents is in my view one of the most enriching ways to improve. I recommend this format from 5 Kyu onwards. The greatest strength in Go, as I see it, is experience — built through serious games, but also through high-stakes play like tournaments and championships. Pricing: 1 lesson (~1h30): €30 — 5 lessons (~5×1h30): €135
Theory Lessons These lessons take various forms: position study, joseki analysis, concept exploration, or problem compilations drawn from your own games. Topics include (non-exhaustive list): Haengma, Yose, Attack, Invasion, Reduction, Joseki, Modern/Traditional Fuseki, Tsumego, Tesuji, Sabaki, Semedori. Theory is a crucial pillar of Go improvement — tactics must lay the foundation for your own strategy. This format is suitable for all levels. Pricing: 1 lesson (~1h30): €40 — 5 lessons (~5×1h30): €180
I offer personalised, individual coaching to help each student reach their own goals and make real progress at Go. Every ten lessons, a dedicated review session is held to assess progress and adjust the learning path. Student can also get unique homework like tsumego sheet, go lesson in pdf. Here some sample in french.
