Igo Shinan — About this game
``Go Instruction'' is not a game where you can freely play against a computer, but rather a software that allows you to think about how to play while following the recorded game records. There are 63 games in total, 21 each for classical, modern, and Go, and in addition to watching the flow with automatic playback, you can also stop each move and watch the game. When judging skill, choose either black or white and guess the move the player actually made. Beginners are given 2 suggestions, intermediates are given 5 suggestions, and advanced candidates are given no hints. The correct answer in the evaluation is the match with the recorded move, not the win or loss of a free game or the official dan grade recognition.
