Searching whole board position

Searching whole board position

Enter the position you would like to search for, then press "Search". This is a whole board search, i.e. the position has to appear like this in a go game. The search automatically tries all 16 variants of the position (rotation, mirror, color exchange.)

  Mode: alternate black only white only   Next:

Sente: black white  

Note: you need Javascript. Furthermore your browser needs to be DOM level 2 compliant (IE5+, NS6+, Mozilla, Opera 6+, Konqueror, Safari.) If you don't see a board above, or if it does not behave like expected than either you don't have Javascript enabled, or your browser is too old.

Short help

• Board
  • Clicking on an empty board position: set stone with color "Next" (top right).
  • Clicking on a stone: remove the stone from the board.
• Clear board: removes all stones from the board
• Mode:
  • 'alternate': switch color after adding a stone to the board
  • 'black/white only': add only stones of this color
• Next: shows the color of the next stone that is added to the board. You can change the color by clicking on the image.
• Sente: search only for positions whose next move is black or white. If empty, all colors are allowed. Note: if allowing all colors, this may lead to search results where the colors are reversed.
