- 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.

Twenty-one regional qualifiers feed a summer knockout in Tokyo, joined by the previous champion, the honorary amateur Honinbo and the winners of the student and junior titles, all playing at forty minutes plus thirty-second byoyomi. The champion carries the title of amateur Honinbo for the year and earns a game against the reigning professional Honinbo, a pro-am meeting that has been part of the calendar since 1963. Only the 2020 edition has ever been missed.
