Each tile is a move you could play next. Tap one to play it: it lands on the board as a numbered stone, and this panel refills with the options that follow. Keep tapping to build a line.
- The Variation panel above lists the moves you've played. Tap any of them to rewind there; tap ← Main line to return to the game.
- Tap Preview on the current move to lay the whole continuation on the board at once — the AI's best line, or the recorded one if the game has it. Tap again to clear.
- Tiles tagged sgf are variations saved in the game record.
- Each tile's corner shows how good the move is — from blue (best) through green and yellow to red — the same color it has on the board. The blue-highlighted tile is the AI's top choice.
- The move actually played in the game isn't shown here — only the alternatives.
New lines you play here are read to 100 visits — quick, but shallow. A deeper read finds longer, stronger continuations.
See deeper analysis plans →Launched in 1996 and sponsored by Samsung Fire & Marine Insurance, the Samsung Cup is one of the most prestigious annual international Go championships. The format begins with a preliminary stage of group play, with group winners joining seeded players in a main knockout bracket; semifinals and the final are best-of-three. The champion takes home 300 million Korean won (roughly US$230,000), making it one of the richest prizes in professional Go. The tournament has been a proving ground for legends -- Lee Changho, Lee Sedol (who won it three times), and in recent years Chinese players like Ke Jie have dominated. It remains a centerpiece of the Korean Go calendar and a barometer of which nation currently leads the Go world.
