Experimental features

HiveLab bots are early prototypes with limited tactical strength.

Settings

Theme

Classic uses 11 pieces per side. All expansions adds Mosquito, Ladybug and Pillbug. Both formats use tournament opening (queen cannot be first).

Casual · depth 1, up to 0.15 seconds
Club · depth 3, up to 0.8 seconds
Strong · depth 6, up to 2.5 seconds

In standard games, difficulty uses Nokamute search limits, not an Elo estimate. Explore searches each idea to depth 4 (up to one second); Deeper search uses depth 7 (up to 1.5 seconds). Game review uses depth 4 for every move.

Custom games use local analysis that follows the selected rules. Suggestions and review are shallow checks. Look ahead previews possible continuations; deeper search is available only for standard games.

Go back to pause the bot and explore another line. Move history retains branches. Use Copy to new board to explore independently. Tabs are saved on this browser. Import accepts Classic (Base) and Base+MLP PGN, UHP game strings and BoardSpace .sgf records.
