Good tutorial, bad game – SmartGo Player Review

SmartGo's tutorial teaches you the basics of Go well. I would say it's great, except a couple of the examples are poorly explained (for instance, in ex. 86 it's not at all clear to a beginner why white is dead). Besides the tutorial, SmartGo is pretty lackluster, especially since it cheats. When you end up with three quarters of the board plus 7 prisoners but SmartGo claims it won by half a point with its one quarter of the board and no prisoners, playing against this AI becomes pointless.
