WeiqiHub WeiqiHub is a unified client to multiple Go servers and offline puzzle solving.

Features

  • Local board
  • Play on Fox Weiqi (unofficial client)
  • Play on Tygem (unofficial client)
  • Solve tsumego (no internet required):
  • Grading Exam: sets of 10 problems of the same rank, each with a 45s time limit. Solve at least 8 to pass (a.k.a. “guan”).
  • Time Frenzy: solve as many problems as possible within 3 minutes. Difficulty increases the more you solve. If you make 3 mistakes, you are out.
  • Ranked Mode: solve problems without a time limit. Difficulty increases the more/faster you solve.
  • Keep track of your solve stats

0.1.5 update

The tsumego + tesuji (guan) set alone was reason enough to have this on mobile.

Having endgame problems and getting sgf from the demo board is more amazing.

0.1.6 update

seems like the app is still being developed some more!

note, if you are as confused as I was on mobile:
when you visit the collections section, swipe left on the category/topic you want to see “Start”

WeiqiHub is now Open Source.

Now people can add other servers like OGS or KGS, that would be so cool.

How many people play in that server?

Weiqihub is not server.
But it let’s you play on the biggest chinese and biggest korean server, which are fox and tygem.
On these, several thousand people play at the same time :slight_smile:

So it’s like 2 servers merging together, right?

merging, is maybe not the right word.

  • fix several broken tasks

The new tasks feature is such a fantastic addition! This feels more “chesslike” in making go puzzles more approachable.

As a suggestion, a button to advance to the next set within a topic would help avoid going through menu to get back on topic.

For iOS desktop and phone versions I can’t seem to be able to save Fox games. On desktop it searches interminably for a list of folder from which to select. Anyone else experiencing this?

14

It is a known bug, devs are trying to fix it.

I love the custom exam, this should cover everybody’s need!

Would it be possible to remember the settings, so that the user doesn’t have to change all the fields every time?

Great app.

What are the sources of tsumego and other go problems included in WeiqiHub?

Thank you WeiqiHub, thanks to you I played my first few games on Fox yesterday. Though I do not completely understand (or like) the Chinese rules. Maybe its just that I am too used to Japanese rules at this point.

Thanks again.
