Features everyone secretly wants on OGS but will never be implemented

Maybe only in ranked games then. I assume the multiple undo scenario is only something that would arise in teaching games or similar (hence unranked).

May I ask for an undo ticker, so-to-speak?

Number of undos requested: ___
Number of undos accepted: ___

Then a little image of a judicial scale weighing both numbers, for moral ambiguity. Just for fun.

I would legitimately like this.

Having the chat window as the default home (with the possibility of changing this in the settings).
Probably would make the design less “clean”, but having a board grid with my current correspondence games is not that useful.
Having the chat more visible would probably promote more of a sense of community (without having to go to the forums).

I remember one year at congress they made a go board that was shaped like the U.S that looked fun to play on. So wacky board shapes I guess ;-).

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.
