I am just starting playing the game of Go and learning the rules as I play. Today I played a game with Noob_bot_3. Please can someone explain to me how Noob_bot_3 (Black) captured all my pieces. Please see attached print screen. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Looking at the game tree in the screenshots, it looks like the bot continuously passed while you filled your own eyes. You need two of those to not be captured.
The bot continuously passed while I filled the board. But I don’t understand how the last move capture all my stones. Please explain to me (newbie). I am learning the basics of the game.
I don’t think it has as much in the way of explanation as it could though. It still doesn’t say what an eye is for example or how to count lives/liberties of stones - it just says capture the stone or make two eyes or stop them from making two eyes.
Well, allow me a bit of self promotion and offer an alternative, online-go tutorial is very minimalistic by design - do please let me know about any ideas for improvement, I will be happy to pass those along with my own ideas, but I am not in any sort of full control about the tutorial, so it might take a lot of time for actual changes to be made.
Together with several OGS users we created an alternative - learn-go.net, that is focused on explanations rather than quick introductions, so with luck you might find some answers there. There I have full control over the website so any reasonable suggestions I am happy to implement quickly
