Problem:
Studying Go is hard. Many people find the best way to study is to get together with some friends, grab a set, and review games, solve problems, and critique each other’s game. But it can be hard to do! However, many places tend to not have enough local players. Many people choose to solve this problem by playing online, and using the text chat feature on Go servers as a means of studying. Thou online go servers have been a solid substitute, technological limitations lead current options to be just not the same as a real life review, which Epic 围棋 is designed to give them.
Solution:
My mobile application, Epic 围棋, is designed to replicate studying Go on a real board, talking to your friends and playing out a game for review, or pitching ideas for a difficult problem. My app combines the aspect of having a digital board and the ability to chat to your friends just like in a real life study group. The mobile app aspect allows you to sit wherever you want, on a train to work, at the breakfast table, or lying on your bed, and connect up with your friends/contacts, and study with them. The virtual board allows for you to play on it as closely as to a real board as possible, and pull problems and game records from the app itself, or save in your own. Heck, if you have a larger device, like an iPad, you can just lie it down and play on it just like a normal board.
