What is Go169?

Go169 is a program which plays the game of Go (also known as Weichi or Baduk). The 169 in the name refers to 13x13 which is the recommended board size. Go81 is an earlier version of the same program.

Usage

Use the pointer to play. You can choose the players, the board size (9x9, 13x13, or 19x19), the number of handicap stones, komi, and Japanese or Chinese scoring by selecting the options from the menu. The program scores the game after it is finished. After the game has ended, you can return to the option menu by tapping the board anywhere. You can also undo the last move, estimate the score or resign during the game by using the menu.

Troubleshooting

The game crashes.
You should update to version 1.0. If that crashes, too, you could report it.

Scoring is incorrect.
Try to rescore by selecting score from the menu. Unfortunately the scoring is not always correct.

How does it work?
