Very Nice!
Great Effort, but when I give it 2 stones on a 9X9 board, it seems I often stump it. That is to say, it sometimes “thinks” for over 10 minutes before I give up on it.

This is great, thanks.

I don’t really understand its scoring estimate though. It seems to give the computer way more points early game for no reason.

This is awsome and has improved my game immensly, however the inability to backtrack because of a mistake is VERY annoying…Probably turns a lot of people off using this. The difficulty adjuster doesn’t seem to do much either.

It also seems to try and merge all rules together.

great tool to keep me sharp, but it doesn’t recognize seki. i would have surely won a game if it had not counted the seki as the opponent’s points

its good but it has a few problems. first if i accidentally play an illegal move, instead of placing my stone somewhere else it takes it as a turn and goes ahead with 2 straight moves! another problem, though im not quite sure on the rules is double ko. i have twice now been in game that halted because the computer and i would be stuck in 2 ko positions on the board.

Great implementation. Its always hard to find an opponent, so its nice to have a computer to challenge my game. I have got to learn to protect my groups better!

I liked it. I just learned how to play go literally 2 minutes ago.

Hi Abe,

Great suggestions, thanks!!
Also, being able to save and continue the game later would be nice too…

Not sure when I’ll have time for these, though – hopefully “soon”.
