First useful session

From a capture to the end of a game

Choose a 9×9 local game and count the empty neighboring intersections around each group.
Filling a group's final liberty captures it. Practice this idea before moving to a larger board.
After two passes, review dead groups and the score, confirm it or resume play. Replay and SGF export help you revisit a game.

Gopetal documents area scoring, positional superko, no suicide and 7.5 komi. The linked first-game guide includes a separate interactive capture illustration.
