Learn while playing against AI

Turn the hint on to see the current win rate; pick a square on the board and it also shows the estimated win rate if you play there. Press the same square again to play.

How do I place a stone on mobile?

The first touch selects a square, and touching the same square again places the stone. Touching a different square only changes the selection. In AI games, turning the hint on shows the current win rate, and selecting a square also previews the estimated win rate of playing there. A separate play button is also available.
