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 →One of the few tournaments anywhere that puts three separate populations of player into the same bracket: men aged 45 and over, every professional woman on the Korean roster, and amateurs who qualify through an open selection. Founded in 2025 by the Korea Baduk Association under the title sponsorship of The Merriden, a wedding-hall company, with backing from Blitz Investment chairman Kim Sungman, it runs 32 players through single elimination to a best-of-three final. The first was won by Oh Yujin over Mok Jinseok, which is exactly the sort of result the format was built to produce.
