"Life and Death - Lets ask Panda Sensei" is a brand new go app, brought to you by the worlds highest level internet Go Salon, Pandanet!
Unlike other go problem apps, Panda Sensei runs on the "King of Tsumego: Panda Sensei" evaluation system to give you accurate support no matter the move! Panda Sensei sticks with you until you are satisfied and is perfect for improving your go strength.
Weve provided a wide range of problems, from "beginner" problems even a beginner can enjoy, to "super advanced" problems that would give even pro players something to think about. New "beginner," "intermediate," and "advanced" problems are uploaded every week, and one free problem is posted every week for users to try out. "King of Tsumego: Panda Sensei" can also be used on smartphones in Panda Sensei mode.
Try having some fun with a go app that is a little different from what you might be used to!
[Just some ways to use this app!]
(1) Use "Panda Sensei Mode" to check life-and-death problems from actual games.
Have you ever been playing a game and not realized there was a dead group?
Why not have "Panda Sensei Mode" judge some go problems youre concerned about? Panda Sensei will tell you in an instant whether any moves are available. It will also resolve those cases where you are having trouble reading out the position. It can also clear up problems you have been unsure about.
(2) Study go when you have a little free time.
Dont have enough time for a full game? Use Panda Sensei to enjoy go when you have some free time. Use it when youre commuting to work or school or during lunch!
[What is the life-and-death judgment system?]
Have you ever looked at a go problem or a solution to a clever move and thought "I dont really get it" or "what would happen if I played a move here?" Why not give "King of Tsumego: Panda Sensei" a try? Even pro players love it! The life-and-death judgment system features revolutionary AI that turns conventional wisdom on its head. The computer judges local life-and-death positions from game records. If there are two or three correct sequences, they will all be displayed. The computer also responds no matter where the user plays his or her move—it will even counter if the move is outside of the correct sequence judged by the computer. The development of this system was supervised by Yoshio "The Computer" Ishida (9-dan). Our system even surprised Mr. Ishida! Why not give it a try and improve your go game?
