At the 2025 European Go Congress in Poland, Diána Kőszegi 2p and Blackie (Seung-jun Kim) 9p will introduce KittyGo, a new AI Go robot designed to revolutionize Go training and accessibility. KittyGo is a strong AI capable of playing at any level, with its top setting strong enough to give a 3-stone handicap to professional players. Key features include: - Practicing Life & Death problems. - Custom games (set up an opening or mid-game position and play from there). - Remote games (two KittyGo devices can connect and play each other remotely). - Replaying AI games and famous professional games. - Support for other games, including chess and Chinese chess, for those interested in exploring beyond Go.
