Computer is no help – SmartGo Kifu Review

The computer at its default setting does such sporadic play that basic Joseki goes right out the window and is absolutely no help in building a players skills. You have to set it on the maximum difficulty get a game that is even remotely close to what you would see in a human interaction and then becomes way too hard to play for beginners. For a “smart” system it’s makes some really unorthodox plays. The go problems and pro games are a nice study, but what you learn from the move patterns does not transfer to an actual game because the computer just plays wherever. It would be nice if it followed modern joseki!!!!
