Go-board memory

Remember where the black and white stones belong. Five small boards, with no Go knowledge needed.

5 boards · Local Go shapes · No time limit

Look at the stones.

Study their positions and colors. Hide the board when you are ready to rebuild it.

How to play

Stones sit on the grid intersections. Study for as long as you like, then select Hide stones. Choose Black or White and tap an intersection to place a stone. Tap it again to remove that stone, or use Erase. Undo restores your last edit.

These patterns use short legal move sequences inspired by common local Go shapes, including extensions, connections and nearby responses. They are authored practice examples, not professional game records or a Go strategy test.

Place the same number of stones as the original, then check the board. A stone earns one point only when both its position and color match.

Keyboard: Tab to the board, then use arrow keys and Enter or Space. B selects black, W selects white and E selects the eraser. This practice relies on seeing stone positions.

Only completed five-board sessions are saved to statistics. Active time excludes background tabs. Earlier random-pattern results are kept separately.
