Hey, I have been using this pixelated finished game as my profile picture for a while.

I will be the face of the hypermodern Go.

The star points are not correctly marked in this diagram… surely the dot should be in the middle of the square…

This issue was brought up in a response to the similar post:

However, upon considering it further, I preferred the way it looks on the intersection. Since we are deliberately diverging from tradition, I put it there to instead highlight the importance of all four points that surround it (33, 34, 44). Also, this type of landmark is also seen in shogi, despite the playing pieces in the game being placed inside the squares.

Dropping the side and tengen hoshi was done for convenience and also in reference to modern fuseki’s emphasis on the corners.

The star points should not be points at all, but star… squares. Instead of a dot, the squares could be marked with a square border inside them. The marks will be helpful for seeing the middles of the sides and tengen, which easily get lost visually.

They could be called the earth squares!

Note that the star points already are little squares. I’m not too sure exactly what you mean by a square board inside.

I kind of like how a more direct sense of the center of each side and tengen are missing in this scheme. It creates a feeling for me that only the corners are more firmly grounded, while everything else needs to be found and felt in relation to what we build from them.

Star points could also be squares with a different colour. As in traditional board, they will be hidden by stones played on them.
