Instead of being held by a hand, the stone may be held by a cat, a dog, a parrot,…

Bump all stones on the board move (hopefully not too much, but that’s if you’re lucky). Chances of a bump are higher the more observers you have

As you play any game, the board continually updates with colorful live AI analysis, but the analysis is for the game position interpreted as one of GoMoku or Pente or Othello always instead of Go.

Alternative scoring rules (based on Help me understand the score in Cosumi - #4 by teapoweredrobot): your territory is the number of squares on the board (not intersections) that you surround.

When you create custom game, opponent who accepts should see your custom board background and your custom stone textures.

No
Could get the choice
Yes
logic is: if you bring your own board somewhere, if someone will sit near you they will play on Your board. It’s same.
Preview with style should be seen before accept.

I think there could be two variations: 1) count fractional squares, 2) count only whole squares.
Purists might prefer the latter, but others may argue for the scoring granularity of the former.

You’re not asking for a feature. You’re asking for a breach of a fundamental OGS prohibition: no outside assistance from bots or humans.

There’s a fun variant we tend to play in exhibition matches which is “Joker go”. Two players face each other and they each have a hand of “jokers”, ie cards with the names of stronger players. When it is their turn, a player can choose to use a joker instead of playing a move themselves. When they do, they call the stronger player, who plays a move for them. Each joker can only be used once.
This is usually only played in exhibition matches, with an even stronger player commenting the game live for the spectators’ enjoyment, and occasionally the players themselves coming in the comments room and explaining their own viewpoint on the game (without having heard the reviewers’ comments).
It sounds to me like @si_x1c_m 's suggestion is something similar, except with an AI.

2 options go: at each turn you make two choices. The AI picks the best one.
Variants:
- n options go (n ≥ 2)
- multi-joker go: at the beginning of the game, each player has a pre-determined set of cards with a number on each. At each turn, a player may use one of the cards: if a number n is written on it, the player may choose n options. Each card may only be used once.

At the beginning of your turn roll a die to determine n.
