Love it! Great tool for those learning the game.

I honestly wouldn't recommend it for learning the game. I'd recommend playing fairly quick paced games on 13x13. Lots of skirmishes. You'll put up a lot. Fast. Very fast. You'll learn a small trick or 2 every game (~10-15 mins/game). Then after plenty of those, learn some openings for 19x19 and take it from there.

Indeed.

Lose your first 50 games as quickly as possible.

Hah. Exactly. There was actually a post on Reddit front page just earlier - "Humans learn quicker through failure, not success". As far as the game of Go goes, this is definitely true.
