I founded and chair a GO Group at the Cosmos Club in Washington. Our members want instruction in how to use OGS/AI-assisted to play and analyze games at a simple level – e.g., 9x9 boards.
Can you direct up to tutorials?
Are there an experienced local (Washington-DC) “assisters” who could coach us at our Saturday sessions 11:00 to 1:00 (lunch to follow).
Well that’s not something promoted on OGS even as a teaching. OGS policy is to only use external help after the game being finished. (No use of AI during the game, only after for review)
Did you check the other resources tab on the main site? The most popular for teaching are mentioned there
I’m not sure AIs can help at beginners level. A few times could be. Mostly the difficulty is to select the AI’s suggestions that you can understand from the one you can’t and that’s already a concern for players with more experience.
