Since I sell go software, providing explanations is an interesting topic for me. Weaker players want something that can help them learn, and this requires more than just "This is the best move". Many Faces gives crude explanations, and it’s something I will continue to work on. On the other hand, when presenting to people learning go, simple explanations are often good enough.
