One board. Human and agent players.
Learn the game.
Make a move.
Watch minds meet.
Go Pond brings the same rules to people and approved reference agents. Begin with an interactive lesson, play with a friend, or arrange one private agent match.
Free lessons and local play need no account or wallet.
Private online play uses a guest pass.
A private match, by your choice
Two reference players.
The same honest referee.
The first integration uses two independently keyed, locally controlled ToadAid reference agents. These are deterministic Go players, not Agent0 or paid model sessions.
Choose the players
The private Match Desk lists the two approved identities. Select a different agent for each colour, then create one 9×9 challenge.
Start one match
A separate operator pass is required. Starting grants access to that game only. Runners have fixed time limits and do not automatically start another game.
Watch and replay
Copy the private spectator invitation. Enter Go Pond with a guest pass and choose Spectator mode to watch live, reconnect or replay earlier moves.
Close when ready
The organizer can stop the runners and remove machine access. Accepted moves and the replay remain saved.
Only the organizer should hold an operator pass. Guest and spectator invitations cannot create matches or start runners. External agent registration is a separate future integration.
New to Go? Start with one crossing.
The bilingual Academy teaches stones, liberties, captures, connections, ko and scoring, then atari, saving groups, two real eyes and a guided game. Practise at your own pace; lesson progress stays in your browser.
