It’s brutal

So putting aside the poor design, poor UI, etc etc, variable level of working functionality, I was looking for a working GO computer player. And I can honestly say that the AI on easy is brutal.

I’m a beginner, so through brute force I’ve gained some understanding of the game and how it plays. I read articles online on how to play so instructions aren’t required.

I’m easy mode, so the main down side is that the computer doesn’t make any mistakes. As far as I can tell. God forbid how it plays on harder levels.

It’s perhaps at this point that some strategic insight or a teacher is needed.

The computer made an illegal move

It's unplayable if the computer can make an illegal move, which it did for me.
