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 Lanke Cup takes its name from one of Go's most beloved legends: a Chinese woodcutter named Wang Zhi who stopped to watch two immortals playing Go in the mountains near Quzhou, only to discover when he looked away that centuries had passed and his axe handle had rotted to dust -- a story predating Rip Van Winkle by over a thousand years. Held in Quzhou every second year since 2006, this is the domestic championship: 32 of China's strongest professionals in a single-elimination bracket, with Yu Bin taking the inaugural title and Gu Li, Fan Tingyu, Mi Yuting, Tan Xiao and Dang Yifei among the champions since. Ke Jie has twice reached the final and twice lost it. In 2022 the organisers added a separate international event under the same name -- see the Quzhou Lanke Cup World Open, which runs annually and keeps its own edition numbers.
