Overview
Go for Beginners is an intuitive mobile application designed to introduce new players to the ancient board game of Go through a gradual learning experience and smoother difficulty progression.

Key Features
1. Adaptive Board Sizes: Perfect for starters with 6x6 grid options, encouraging progression to 9x9 as skills develop.
2. Customizable AI Difficulty: Players begin at level 1 and incrementally increase the computer's strength to match their improving Go prowess.
3. Versatile One-on-one Play: Besides AI, users can face off against human opponents across varied board sizes—6x6, 9x9, 13x13, and the full 19x19.
4. Additional Help: Handicap settings can be applied for a more balanced game against stronger opponents.
5. Game Enhancements: Set time limits for added pressure with a countdown feature and record gameplay for analysis and improvement.
6. Comprehensive Rule Set: The application adheres to the Chinese rules, providing a solid foundation for those looking to learn universally accepted principles.

Interesting Gameplay
1. Capture Stones: Players take turns placing black or white stones with the objective of claiming territory and capturing opposing stones.
2. Territory Calculation: Players continue to position stones until territories are delineated, though the app may require manual completion of the process.
3. Game Conclusion: The match ends when both players pass consecutively—signaling no beneficial moves remain—or when a player resigns, with victory going to the one controlling more territory.
