### 5/5 — Watch and learn

*2023-11-21, version 11.5.2*

I know everything is in Chinese but Google Translate helps. Step by step moves. But the best thing about this App is you can see the count at the end and who won and by how many. Switching between the count and final board helps you learn how to recognize when it’s time to resign. I wish there were more up to date games.
