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 Maxim Coffee Cup, sponsored by Dong Suh Foods, is a distinctive Korean Go tournament founded in 2000 that is exclusively restricted to 9-dan players, the highest professional rank. This elite restriction makes it unique among major tournaments and ensures top-level play in every game. The format uses rapid time controls of just 10 minutes per player with overtime periods, with the top four players advancing to a round-robin mini-league and the top two meeting in a best-of-three final. Park Jeonghwan has been the most successful player with four titles, while Shin Jinseo won consecutive cups in 2023 and 2024.
