Hi, I really like the AI since it's pretty challenging for me but could there be a way for us players to costumize the starting board in Capture Go (Example: Instead of starting with the four stones already placed to start with an empty table) Anyway really liked the AI. Maybe it would help to not have to complete all levels like the most begginer ones since they are so easy.

Just started solving beginner-difficulty problems and immediately I'm not very satisfied with it. First of all, there's no explanation after the puzzle is solved, there's been times I didn't fully understand what exactly and in which way has been achieved with the move I played. Secondly, there are problems which require 2 or more moves, but I haven't found an indication of how many moves do I need to make. I thought the number of rocks under the goban would tell me that, but I was wrong.

Thank you for review. Now there are basic tactics explanations available. These introduce themes present in beginner problems and give background to understand the problems better. Contrary to chess, most go problems do not have clear number of moves. Different resistance variations may require different number of moves.

Difficult to understand. Not beginner friendly, even in capture go. No help, no explanations, and no undo function. If you make a mistake, the undo procedure listed doesn't work. No information on strategy or how to play capture go. The hint function is useless and always leads to you losing. Only tried capture go, no explanation of strategy or moves, or why certain choices are better. Not helpful at all, not beginner friendly.
