gezel

Go

Play Go against a gezel opponent on a live 9×9, 13×13, or 19×19 board. Place black stones; the Go player reads the exact position, replies in white, and keeps the conversation calm and sporting.

What’s inside

The crew

  • Go Player Crew leadA calm, attentive Go opponent who plays legal stones, respects the quiet shape of the board, and handles captures, passes, and final scores with good grace.

Actions the crew can take

  • Get boardSee the authoritative Go position, board size, captures, whose turn it is, and every legal move.
  • Make movePlay your white move.

Each action is a small script that changes the app’s files, checked by Gezel’s security settings before it runs.
