Game Guide:

I. Mode Selection and Settings

• Beginners are recommended to use the Rank Game mode, starting at intermediate level five, and automatically adjusting the AI difficulty through wins and losses, which is beneficial for getting started and gradually improving;
• If you already have a certain foundation, you can challenge the Honinbo Battle mode, from the first dan all the way to the champion; Each time you win a dan, you will be promoted, increasing the sense of achievement;
• The Dojo mode is suitable for free play, and you can adjust the board size, handicap, time, etc. It is a powerful tool for practicing specific battle types or performing strategy exercises.

II. AI Level and Time Control

• It is recommended to set the handicap to 5~9 points and cooperate with a time limit of 30–60 seconds per move in the initial stage, to strengthen the judgment ability under time pressure;
• Gradually reduce the handicap and shorten the time to train the rhythm of standard games and thinking ability;
• It is recommended that high-level players try to play without handicaps and without time limits to challenge the AI limit.

III. Tactics and Skill Suggestions

• In the initial game, prioritize expanding the star position and small eye position, establish the framework and then carry out the solid layout;
• Use the "black advantage" of the Handicap setting to practice territory calculation, endgame skills and endgame ability;
• In Dojo mode, you can simulate the game record to reproduce the layout, making the Handicap design close to professional layout.
