the question is, which intermediate point is optimal to switch from instrument/game 1 to game 2. Having in mind a complicated game 2, it might be helpful first to teach a simpler game 1 (for some limited time) and only then switch to game 2. In teaching go, one possible path (even with 2 steps) is to start with (a) Atari-Go on 9x9 board then switch to (b) "true" Go on 9x9 then switch to (c) Go on 19x19 What are optimal lengths for phases (a) und (b) in doing so?
