Features everyone secretly wants on OGS but will never be implemented

Simultaneous Go.
Like the exhibition matches were a strong player plays several players at the same time.
This can already be done, but the idea would be to have an interface where you could see all the games in the exhibition match at the same time.
People complain that there are not enough strong dans in OGS. This would be a way to give a strong dan a good challenge, by getting them to play a lot of weaker dans at the same time.

I would be curious to see if a dozen of the strongest OGS amateurs could win at least 1 game against a pro.

There’s a few articles about using an internet browser on a Nintendo switch.
It’s not an official client, but it’s close enough I guess.

UNDO” button should work even after game ended.
There is fork game option but it’s too hard to click.

Also if someone lost by KataGo opinion but won because opponent timeout, there should be “ANNUL” button - if opponent accepts, game will be annulled.

Mods do this sometimes, but its too slow process.

I need a conditional undo for saving time when my trick moves don’t work.

IDK, I’ve never played backgammon for rating or money.

Well that could go to the thread “is there a polite way to ask for a resign”. Double mechanism on the rating points.

Option to replace standard score estimator with strong kata bot one.
But you will be allowed to use it only once in a game and no graphical representation.

This meme shows why its not a big cheat:

But at least it will make some sense unlike current score estimate.

If you still think its too much, what about

when you click it

Prompted by the recent bump, custom text macros like the Hi, Have Fun, good game etc.

I guess we’re stuck with 5. It would be cool to have a macro though like

“Hi , have a nice game.”

And it fills opponent in with your opponent username :stuck_out_tongue:

Maybe we have that too for all I know :stuck_out_tongue:

Not exactly what you’re asking, but you can edit the existing quick-text. Macros would be cool though! Wouldn’t be too hard I think, something like “hey %p, waddup!”
