- Each exercise gives a specific explanation when a move misses, rather than returning only a wrong-answer signal.
Field notes
The course uses three-board explanations for each idea: an obvious position, a variation, and the beginner’s usual trap. Its material is split between a guided sequence and standalone practice, including skill-based exercises and tsumego life-and-death problems. The page also includes a 145-term glossary with Japanese writing and describes a browser game for two players, with moves entered by clicking, keyboard input, or coordinates such as E5.
