Is there a way to do anything other than just run through this single opening set of moves? Not a lot of exploration here, or ability to 'find new and creative ways of playing go' Or am I missing something?

There are lots of branches. If you don't understand go strategy then you're not going to get much out of this

I've played thousands of games of go. I understand go strategy. I don't understand the interface.

Oh this is cool, is it basically giving you a view of what alphago thinks the win % is for a given board state while you're playing? With undo that's awesome.

no, it's a very small precomputed tree of moves. you can only click on an increasingly small subset of tiles after each move

what you're talking about would basically mean a full free online version of AlphaGo, with what would appear to be instant next move computation.

Saddly, it's not.
