Amending the Anti-Stalling Feature

[shinuito]

If I have the ability to pass three times and still maintain a 99% win rate and lead by more than 10 points, why can’t I end the game?
It should not change based on the number of moves.

I suppose the simple answer is, “that’s not how Go works”. Some already object as is to being able to do it at all.

OGS invents new Go variant!

OGS has, perhaps unwittingly, invented a new Go variant “Can you afford to pass 3 times? Go” or “- - - Go”*, and we are all playing it. If you are ahead and past move 120, rather than playing moves to try to win, you can take a gamble and pass: if your opponent doesn’t have a ko threat type move big enough to drop your lead below a KataGo estimate of 99% after you pass following the ko threat, they follow up on the threat and you pass again, then you win. But be warned, if you are still winning …

If your games are too easy that it’s decided and you’re winning 100% by move 100, maybe only play harder opponents where that’s not the case?
