One Colour Go
   

One Colour Go is when both players play stones of the same colour, and have to remember which stones belong to which player. It really tests ones memory as well as the ability to analyse the shapes in the game.

If you wanna try it, Jago and SmartGo have an option that lets you make all of the stones on the board black. It can get confusing.

Have fun and figure what's below (taken from the manga Hikaru No Go). :-)

--- HolIgor: Let's play. I will mark white stones that I suppose are truly white.

unkx80: The "answer" is actually in the manga, but it doesn't show the sequence that leads to this. :-)

--Stefan: I need a second goban to test some layouts.


Madoka: I'm curious, do people actually play OCG in real life? If so how would one handle disputes? For example, when Hikaru played Kurata, both forgot the layout of the board. Kurata won only because Hikaru didn't call his bluff.

The only way I see how it would work would be if there's a second board that's being laid out simultaneously. But then the setup for the game becomes too complicated...

bkhl: I guess you could mark stones of one color on the underside. Then you can check them if there is a dispute.

exswoo:Unless my memory is playing tricks with me, only Kurata forgot the layout of the board. Hikaru resigned because he realized that he would eventually lose.

Jasonred How about blind Go? That sounds even WORSE than one color go to me, but I could be wrong, having never played either of those... (especially blind go, that sounds like madness to me, even chess without looking isn't impossible for me, but...)

victim I played both, as a 4d, against Philip Hiller who was 9k at the time. There was no such problem with the One-Colour Go. But we stopped the blind go after fifty moves.

KyleC? One color go is possible if someone is marking down the moves as the two are playing. It usually reaches a resignation due to an oversite by one player.I have seen 2 games played in this way. Both times reached a resignation and both were played by low to mid dans.
