Problems with this game
I was expecting great things with this game, but am highly disappointed. I'm a beginning Go player so maybe there are some things I don't get yet, but here are the problems I've seen so far.
1. It doesn't show captured stones in the bowls like other, less expensive, Go games do
2. The scoring process isn't clear and doesn't agree with manual scoring
3. Trying to disable the timer only works some of the time. Even with the timer disabled, it will sometimes time-out a game. This is highly frustrating.
Given the choice, I would not purchase this Go game again - at least not until there is a new version that clears up these obvious problems.
