Go Diagrams Request

Hey people, could you send me Go game diagrams of finished games (with a decent image quality) or tell me how I could find some pro games like this but without the Kifu numbers. Even better (but I guess harder to find … or not) would be good 13x13 games. The idea is to send the image to engrave on a bottle opener in Aliexpress and the available space is about 5cm. I’ll come back later with the results :wink:

You can take a finished OGS game with game id [gameid] placeholder and get an image like the above

Just fill in the placeholder with the id.

This one’s a Katago one 62681659

10 years ago I bought two 13x13 gobans and sets of glass stones and glue to make decorative go positions to hang on the walls.

I used positions from endgame problems from 101weiqi. They’re 13x13 go positions carefully thought out so that the endgame is really interesting and difficult and, if played perfectly, Black wins by 0.5 point. And they look like real go games.

If you’re looking for a good 13x13 position for an engraving I recommend something similar. After all, you’ll be stuck with that position for years, so it might as well be a good one.

They also have smaller go boards, including 7x7, which might be more appropriate for a bottle opener. Obviously the 7x7 problems are easier and perhaps less interesting than the 13x13 ones, but they will probably render better when engraved on a bottle opener.
