Awesome program. The capacity to integrate with Leela Zero makes this absolutely the best Go playing app. If the following bugs can be fixed the app would be perfect: - how to set the time limit should be in the help file, it took me a while to figure it out: "time_settings 0 20 1" for 20 sec per move. - Grid master has a way of losing the time setting and LZ will suddenly taking forever to make a move. This is annoying as I will need to kill and restart to resume the game. - placing stone in the right position is very tricky. I propose doing it like other go playing app, by showing the stone slightly away from the fingertip, usually above, so that ii is visible.

I really like this program as I've said. But it is doing one thing that I consider extremely annoying, even demoralizing. Every time you get in a position to win the game, the program will resign instead of allowing you to play out the game. This happens whether you're winning position is sufficient to 'skunk' the computer opponent This is very frustrating. After you play dozens and dozens of games, it just quits when you've out played it. Also, you can't save the full game because it refuses to play it to double pass. You should at least have the option to continue the game or have the option of forcing it to pass rather than resign. The program shouldn't unilaterally force termination and just refuse to play on. How does that help in learning the game? In my case I'm not even sure why it thinks I won. Might be nice to know.

After loading a sgf, is there a way to move by move suggest good moves and show current position evaluation like an engine? Here what I can do at most to analyze a game is to play a move, click estimate score, then again play and click, and so on... kind of tedious. Also, there is no way of showing better moves.
★★☆☆☆
Lots of glitches. Turning stones different colors. Program randomly stops making moves. And most commonly calling legal moves illegal. Would be great otherwise because it plays well and quickly.
