As I mentioned earlier ​ :slight_smile: :
​
​
​
Start on ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Board Size ​ 5 ​ ​ ​ , ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ with you treating Draw as ​ ​ ​ You Win ​ .
Once you do well-enough at that, switch to treating Draw as ​ ​ ​ You Lose ​ .

Once you do well-enough at that, try the following things:
These are not necessarily ordered by difficulty, because I forget their relative difficulty.
​
​
(a)
Treat anything other than ​ ​ ​ you win by the full board ​ ​ ​ as a loss
for you, and even if Cosumi passes, keep playing until you are
extremely confident that you can capture all of the white stones.
(For this, you should play the center intersection on your first turn, since with
anything else, winning by the full board would require a mistake from Cosumi.)

(b)
On your first turn, you are not allowed to play the center intersection.
This can be made slightly easier/harder by treating Draw as a Win/Loss for you.
(No matter how you treat draws, for this I suggest you play adjacent to the center intersection
on your first turn, since my guess is that if Black doesn’t play one of the 5 centermost
intersections on Black’s first turn, then under correct play Black shouldn’t even get a draw.)

(c)
Play on size 6 instead of size 5, and treat Draw as ​ ​ ​ You Win ​ .
(For this, I recommend that you play one of the 4 center intersections on your first turn.)

For Android phone there is “GO” by AI factory. It lets you roll back moves and get estimates score. pretty good for beginners getting a feel for the game.
