Is there a way to do anything other than just run through this single opening set of moves? Not a lot of exploration here, or ability to 'find new and creative ways of playing go'
Or am I missing something?
There are plenty of branches, but it's true there is no way to add your own for AlphaGo's evaluation. The main function of the tool is to see AlphaGo's appraisal of common opening lines from professional games, plus some of AlphaGo's own suggestions.
click on the circles instead of the forward button
Correct, there is only one branch
There are lots of branches. If you don't understand go strategy then you're not going to get much out of this
I've played thousands of games of go. I understand go strategy. I don't understand the interface.
