Practical advices for beginners
- Play the same initial stones as the strong players. Adapt these stones to the circumstances of your games.
- Play defensive at the begin of the game. Stay calm and play strategic moves that provide you many possibilities over the whole board.
- Conversely, play offensive when you know the game is near the end. Look for every potential winning combination, even the most weird.
- Understand the winning combinations (and the winning threats) used by strong players near the end of their games.
