Is it possible to play against an AI?

I remember something about an unusual time control in go (like only integer minutes). Are yo using it or the chess method?

It is not yet but the game is still under active development and bots have been requested. If you’re interested in getting updates on development, the discord (linked on the site) has been gaining some traction. I’ll be posting updates there.

The time control implemented currently is that you start with a base amount of time and get additional time for each move. I believe it’s referred to as Fischer time which makes me think it’s related to chess, but I’m unsure how prevalent it is in chess or go.

Your time control method is usual on some chess games, but traditional go is very different. In case you get too many angry request https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_control

If you don't have an AI, you can try to be available to play when you post. For example the servers sends you a SMS to alert you when a player is waiting. [Remember to disable it during work, sleep and family time.] Perhaps repost during next weekend. Do you have a friend that can help to be a AI replacement?

interesting
