Almost none of my customers buy the high-ranking amateur games.
Moyo Go Studio shows you the replies of other players in identical local positions in your game.
My customers all think they play just like a pro, otherwise they would purchase, for a few measly bucks, a few hundred thousand amateur games, containing hundreds of millions of positions that occur in non-pro games. What makes you think that, as a Kyu player, your games are full of positions that occur frequently in pro games?
When you’re a Kyu player and you use the pro-only version of Moyo Go, you will not be able to benefit of the program’s most powerful feature: Showing you what a much stronger player played in the exact same local situation (ALL local situations EVERYWHERE on the board). If you’re not getting the strong ama games, it hardly makes any sense to buy Moyo Go at all.

Speaking as a customer, the main purpose for me to buy this software is to see precisely where my & mine opponents play diverges from previous pro play. My interest is to see what has worked and what hasnt from the best minds engaged in serious rated competition. Strong amateur games online are fine for rapid study to learn shape & decent strategies, but you can be sure that not nearly the same amount of thought has gone into the creation of these records. The idea of using local search to research middle game joseki is interesting, but even then it’s best to search the pro games to see where your line of play and theirs diverge, and try to think about why.
