Instructions for the Govariants server
Create a game
To create a game you need to be logged-in. It’s possible to log-in as a guest without registering, but I recommend creating an account. If you have trouble with registering an account, please let me know.
On the starting page you can configure parameters for creating a new game. The variant baduk is preselected, which is right for this tournament.
- Select the Pattern Rectangular with holes and copy-paste the following into the text input for the bitmap:
