Re: Does playing a high dan bot helps improving?

I find it more relaxing to play bots. Playing ranked games can be so stressful, like writing code that cannot be edited, whenever there is a compile error the whole program has to be discarded... The undo button makes development much smoother, any "typos" that make the strategy simply not run can be changed to evaluate the overall situation. Like if you need to try ten branches to live with a group it was probably not a great invasion but if you anyhow find yourself in such a spot you have experience finding the one in ten shot for life.
Crazystone is great for such undoplorations, the mobile app is low dan but very snappy compared to the LZ programs I've tried. I used to play it for hours while doing other stuff (no need to fear distractions with unlimited undos) until I finally won the ultimate victory: capturing every single stone on the board.
Bots also wont throw rocks at your house for trying something that's "not supposed to work" so they are excellent for experimentation.
