Go AI: KataGo Offline Trainer
Baduk & Weiqi · 10000+ tsumego
Free · In‑App Purchases · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.
My son started learning Go at seven. One lesson a week at the dojo, and he wanted
to keep practising at home - but I could not find an app I was comfortable handing
him. Sign-in walls, ads, recurring subscriptions. So I wrote this one.
Learning Go for the first time? Start here: follow a clear path from placing stones, liberties and captures to capture-1,
capture-3 and capture-5 challenges, then a guided introduction to territory on 9x9.
Learn the rules by playing and move naturally into a complete game. This beginner course is free.
10,000+ PROBLEMS
Organised by theme - liberties, atari and capture, connect and cut, shape, snapback,
shortage of liberties, net, squeeze, semeai, life and death. The collection includes
420 explained beginner rule exercises across ten units. Layered hints and explanations
help you understand why a move works, not just where to play.
9x9, 13x13 AND 19x19
Use 9x9 to learn captures and territory or finish a shorter game, 13x13 for fighting
and middlegame practice, and 19x19 for the full Go experience. Chinese rules,
adjustable komi, undo, pass, resign and move hints are always within reach.
KATAGO, RUNNING ON YOUR PHONE
Go AI runs KataGo, a state-of-the-art neural network Go engine, natively on your
device - not on a server. Play on a plane, on the subway, anywhere you have a few
minutes.
22 LEVELS, 18 KYU TO AMATEUR 4 DAN
Weaker levels don't just play slightly worse - they make the kind of mistakes a real
player at that rank makes, so every game stays honest and instructive. KataGo's
Human SL model is included too, in three styles: modern, traditional and varied.
REVIEW EVERY GAME
Step through any finished game move by move with a win-rate graph, see exactly where
the game turned, and check the top candidate moves at any point.
TRACK YOUR PROGRESS
23 growth milestones mark the journey from your first stone and first capture to wins
against every AI rank. Celebrations make each achievement visible. Win rate, streaks
and complete game history are stored separately for each local player.
PRIVACY
No account, no ads, no third-party analytics SDK. Your games and records stay on your
phone and are not uploaded. The app may fetch a small configuration file at launch;
AI play, training and review continue to work offline after installation. Purchases
and configuration updates require a connection.
Whether you are starting from the rules themselves, grinding tsumego to climb from
18 kyu toward amateur dan, or you just want a strong offline opponent in your pocket
- Go AI is built for you.

A one-time purchase unlocks unlimited games, training and hints. No subscription.
