Setup

Path: Phases =>
   

Before a game actually starts, some decisions must be made. Usually this phase becomes trivial, but this page intends to explicitly list those steps.

  • decide on goban size, depending on
    • time available (19x19 = 1 hour, 13x13 = 30 minutes, 9x9 = 15 minutes, approx.)
    • rating difference
  • decide on rules
  • choose colors (eg nigiri)
  • (or) choose handicap and komi
  • decide on time

In tournament play the setup will be handled by the pairing rules.
