Play

Starting a game records your moves under your name. Sign in to play

The clock starts once the first move is made; the solver plays itself untimed.

How to play

Black and White take turns placing a stone on an empty crossing. Five or more of your stones in an unbroken line wins (freestyle rules); a full board is a draw.

Beside chess

Played on a Go board with Go stones, but nothing is ever captured: like chess, every move is a threat or an answer to one.

Moves are written as the cells they touch: d4, e2e4, c3e5g7.

Quick pairing

Pick a clock. You meet the closest rating waiting in that pool; the range widens while you wait.

Nobody waiting

Your side

Leave the opponent blank and the game waits in the lobby for anyone while this page is open. Name a player and only they can take it; a challenge waits up to a day.

    No games waiting. Post one and it waits here for anyone to take.
