This setting could save lives and also DO NOT USE thirty party apps for an emergency call
I don’t know the setting for Android but I’m pretty sure there’s a similar setup there as well

rematch with ChatGPT-5
This time it spent a lot of time in thinking, but still couldn’t read a ladder or notice that its group is in grave danger: W+R
Final board status of the match, black is dead everywhere. A hopeless ladder goes from the center towards the bottom left-hand corner the bulky group on the upper right cannot make two eyes

komi
Double panel from Hikaru No Go. Sai with a fan over his mouth and Hikaru below him. (Western layout) Sai says that at Shusaku’s times there was no komi rule. Hikaru cannot believe that Sai didn’t ever think that Black (starting first) has an advantage and without compensation for White the game is unfair.

Inverted roles: B+R
Final board of the match. White resigns. Bad shapes and other white stones mostly on the center, right and upper right of the board, effortless surrounded by Black. The rest it didn’t even bother to try.
