Smart adaptive play – Igowin HD Review

Just to test it out, I set its strength to my rating, then tanked a few 9x9 games. It responded by lowering its strength and dropping my rating. I then switched to 13x13 games and played straight up. Within a dozen games it correctly ascertained my true rating all the while ratcheting up its playing strength. I saved a game I lost by half a point, went into edit mode, backed up to where I thought I'd lost sente, played my alternate move, then had it continue live play from that point. I was then able to back out of the alternate play and add comments to explain each of the moves. I've since used this as a teaching game. Finally, it plays 19x19 games with good openings, balanced middle game play, and will catch you napping in end game tactics if you slack off. Strongly recommend this for newbies, and believe even low dan players will (giving a stone or two) will find this to be a strong, consistent, quick-playing opponent, always at the ready.
