Ah, thanks, I better understand your question now. In response…
Many of my online opponents here on OGS disappear soon after the final tally. In which case, no, we are not reviewing anything together.
Sometimes, a very kind opponent will conduct and link me to a game review - or perhaps just offer a comment or two about what could have been superior moves, or a tip about strategy I should consider.
Since I’m still very new to Go, my own ability to offer constructive observations remains rather limited at this point.
But typically, folks on OGS seem to be off and running to their next game. And so, many times there is no opportunity for me to engage in any such interaction.
For playing, it’s fine – the AI actually feels quite nice to play against. It also works if you want to use it online against other players, especially if you really prefer physically placing stones on the board and don’t enjoy blitz games (since you have to input your opponent’s moves too, which also takes time).
I can’t really recommend using it for 9x9 or 13x13 boards though. Technically it works, but it just looks awful.
As for learning purposes, I wouldn’t recommend it at all – nothing beats reviewing and experimenting on a PC. The software itself isn’t very beginner-friendly. When you play, it does show you the “best moves,” but it never explains why they’re the best. It’s much easier to click through variations and try things out directly on a computer.
When you play on a server, the opponent’s move is highlighted on the IZIS board. Then you have to put a stone on that intersection before playing your own move. See this video
