About Go Lab: AI Baduk KataGo Engine
[Powered by KataGo] We've included the strongest-class model b18c384nbt via CoreML, which shines on the 19x19 board. It boasts playing strength beyond professional players. This model supports candidate move suggestions during games, position evaluation, territory estimation, and post-game kifu analysis. It also supports SGF import, making it ideal for study as well. We've also included the lightweight model b6c96 (Metal / g170 generation) for smooth play. It's handy for casual games on 9x9 and 13x13 boards, or for long sessions with low power consumption. You can change models anytime from the in-app settings screen. The app also supports spectating games on the Online Go Server (OGS). You can watch ongoing games from around the world in real time. Main Features - Full-screen support: In addition to the standard display, play on a beautiful edge-to-edge board (ideal for 19x19 games). - Candidate move display: Real-time display of KataGo's top 10 moves with win-rate and position predictions. Feel the essence of each move as you experience the thrill of Go. - Territory estimation display: Display KataGo's territory estimation in real time on the board. Intuitively grasp black and white territory while playing or reviewing. - Position graph: Display the game's position in real time as a graph.

KataGo's position analysis is not shown during spectating and can only be checked after the game ends. - Tsumego mode: Includes 347 problems from the Gengen Gokyo. There are a challenge mode and a solution replay mode. In replay mode, the correct sequence is played automatically. Filter problems by move count or status (uncleared/cleared). - Game history analysis: Study past games with intuitive controls: play, rewind, fast-forward. Tap any move in the kifu list to jump directly to that position. - SGF import: Import external kifu via file selection or text paste and add them to your game history. - Thinking time visualization: Display the time taken for each move. Long thinking periods are highlighted in red (top 5%) and yellow (top 15%). - CPU matches and local 2-player games: CPU matches and local 2-player games work offline. - Save and resume: Games are saved automatically, so you can resume right where you left off.
