That was the advice given to me from my teacher so just passing it along :) I think it means all the options can be overwhelming, so don’t overthink it and just play without hope of winning. You’ll soon get a feel for what good moves are.
He also lent me a book that helped, so consider doing some reading. I wish I remembered the book’s name. There is also this site: senseis.xmp.net
Y’all should also play against other opponents/AI. Intermediate level opponents will help you to grow.
