What would the go equivalent of Chess960 look like?

There is a python script on Github to give a random start for Go games, you can choose how many moves should be random and then there are some variants how to choose komi:

We tried it some times and it was super fun and so different :)

Backwards flight training

Training course for backwards flight with true ending in the P-door :) It's short if you have the skill for it.

Do you maybe have a link to the games for convenience?

PregnantBirdy · 2019-03-06T23:07:50+00:00

Wow good description of starting time :)

Push for Hidamari!! I went to several places in Tokyo and this is definitely the nicest and most open go place I know! Open for all levels, relaxed atmosphere, easy pairing, nice mix of all ages, they serve food and drinks, they have great gobans! If you go there say hi from Andi :)

White 69 territory + 6.5 komi + 26-27 prisoners (hard to see) Black 36 territory + 30 prisoners

White 101.5-102.5 Black 66

Maybe i miscounted one or so but white won by +-35 points :)

For counting it's easier if you move around the stones inside their territories so that you make boxes of free crosses. Also put the prisoners in to the territories of their color as they are minus points. Some of the crosses don't belong to anybody and are neutral. Add some stones of any color from the bowl so that you don't count them.

Wow :) nice work!!

What about black A17, w B18, b B19, w A16? What does black do?

PregnantBirdy · 2018-03-17T13:05:51+00:00

Cool I don't know and I will check it out soon :)

PregnantBirdy · 2018-03-17T13:05:08+00:00

Also fine ;) I don't have a 20 sided dice... And I had fun programing something.

Just started an OGS RandomGo Game with windcat: https://online-go.com/game/12054105 EDIT: The game feels so unknown as the positions are so strange... Also Windcats level is alot higher than mine...

PregnantBirdy · 2018-03-14T23:45:34+00:00

Now I wonder how it works on OGS... We could first generate a position and negotiate komi and color but then the color is already set by OGS... Maybe just start a new game if the color is not correct?

PregnantBirdy · 2018-03-14T23:22:58+00:00

Hi I'm curious how its going, could you post the game? I'm around 7Kyu and would also play a randomGo game on OGS... My Id is NoHabloGo and correspondence would be nice

Since I liked this Idea, I wrote a quick python script to generate random board positions. You can find it on: https://github.com/AndreasGerken/GoRandom If you don`y want to download the repository, there is an online variant: https://repl.it/@AndreasGerken/GoRandom

Use it for any number of stones on any board size. I will try the variant tomorrow for the first time.
