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.

The Women's Meijin is the female version of the Meijin title, with "Meijin" meaning "master" -- historically the highest honorific in Japanese Go. Established in 1988 with Miyazaki Shimako as its first champion, the tournament ran continuously until it lost sponsorship in 2020, then resumed for its 32nd edition in 2021 under new backing from the Fuji Evening News and Nippon Life Insurance. Chinese-born Xie Yimin dominated with nine titles between 2008 and 2016; Fujisawa Rina has since become the dominant figure of the modern era. The tournament's brief suspension reflected the financial precariousness of women's Go competitions, but its revival demonstrated the enduring weight of the Meijin name in Japanese Go culture.
