Browser-based Go game with KataGo AI - looking for feedback

Hey everyone!

I’ve been working on a browser Go game and wanted to share: playgogame.org

It’s just a simple, no-frills way to play Go - no downloads or accounts needed.

What it has:

  • Board sizes from 7x7 to 19x19

  • KataGo AI (running on RTX 5090)

  • Difficulty from 15k to 3d

  • Works on any device

Why I made it: I wanted something I could just open and play instantly. Started using it myself and figured others might like it too.

Would love feedback on:

  • Does the AI feel right at different levels?

  • Any bugs or weirdness?

  • UI issues or clunky parts?

  • Features you’d actually want?

I know there are plenty of Go sites already, but sometimes simple is better. Check it out if you’re interested and let me know what you think!

Thanks!

It’s great.

A few things:

15k is not a beginner level. (Could bring disappointment for a real beginner)

It would be nice to propose an alternative way of input with confirm button (especially useful playing 19x19 on a mobile, missclick is at the corner!)

Maybe make it more easy to see when the AI pass at the end.

Nether the less, nice little app, well done!

I’ve been giving feedback on the r/baduk subreddit, and there are bugs and issues with the settings which 15k to 3d settings all can play extremely complicated joseki like flying knife perfectly (and 100% top match rate), and I think there are still fixes to come.

Nice app!

If you could count the actual points with integers instead of just using the Katago estimate, that would be better.
