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 Ryusei ("Dragon Star") is a Japanese televised Go tournament that began in 1991 on the Go Channel (now the Go and Shogi Channel), recognized as an official Nihon Ki-in competition from 1997. Games are broadcast with commentary and, since 2020, AI-powered position evaluation displays for viewers. The structure begins with preliminary rounds organized into sections, where section winners advance to a knockout final. Like the NHK Cup, the Ryusei offers fans an accessible window into professional play through faster time controls. A China-Japan Ryusei Cup also pits the Japanese champion against a Chinese counterpart.
