结构缺陷:现有围棋在中部有四口气,边上有三口气,角部有两口气,导致气数计算规则复杂化

Benefits of technology

[0007] A notable feature of octahedral Go is that each piece has six liberties on its face and edges, and four liberties at its six vertices. This makes it easier to create living spaces and less likely to be captured, thus increasing the diversity and intensity of the game. Furthermore, pieces can cross over to adjacent faces from any edge, breaking the boundary restrictions of traditional Go and making the game more flexible and unpredictable.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of chess equipment, specifically relating to a Go system based on a regular octahedral structure, including the manufacture of a physical Go board and the implementation of software functions on electronic devices such as mobile phones and computers. Background Technology

[0002] The bottleneck of traditional Go: Structural flaws: Existing Go boards have four liberties in the center, three on the sides, and two in the corners, complicating the liberty calculation rules. Furthermore, the two-dimensional board has boundaries, leading to rigid strategies.

[0003] Technological breakthrough directions: Geometric optimization: Select a highly symmetric polyhedron to equalize the connection relationships between adjacent faces, thereby reducing the complexity of the rules. Human-machine collaboration: Combining magnetic adsorption and digital technology to improve the usability of physical and virtual chessboards.

[0004] The disruptive innovation of this invention: By leveraging the octahedral property of equal adjacency of its eight faces (each face connects to three adjacent faces) and a standardized grid coordinate system, a balance is achieved between the self-consistency of rules, tactical scalability, and user experience in 3D Go. Summary of the Invention

[0005] An octahedral Go board is an octahedral structure with an N*N*N triangular grid on each face (N=3-19). A standard Go board has a 9*9*9 grid, with 28 intersections on each face, 8 faces * 28 intersections + 12 edges * 8 intersections + 6 vertices, for a total of 326 intersections. The diagram shows a 9*9*9 grid (a standard octahedral Go board).

[0006] Go stones can be placed on the intersections of the lines. These lines and intersections are distributed equidistantly on the board.

[0007] A notable feature of octahedral Go is that each piece has six liberties on its face and edges, and four liberties at its six vertices. This makes it easier to create living spaces and less likely to be captured, thus increasing the diversity and intensity of the game. Furthermore, pieces can cross over to adjacent faces from any edge, breaking the boundary restrictions of traditional Go and making the game more flexible and unpredictable. Attached Figure Description

[0008] Appendix Figure 1 : Schematic diagram of a regular octahedral Go board. Detailed Implementation

[0009] Chessboard manufacturing: The chessboard can be made of iron to ensure its stability and durability.

[0010] Chess Piece Manufacturing: Chess pieces may be made of magnets or other materials that can attract the chessboard surface for stable placement. Edge pieces should be concave magnetic pieces with two faces having an included angle of 109.47°, while vertex pieces should be concave magnetic pieces with four faces having an included angle of 109.47°.

[0011] Digital Implementation: This invention can not only be produced in physical form, but also programmed and implemented on devices such as computers, mobile phones, tablets, VR headsets, game consoles, smartwatches, and smart TVs. Each face can be displayed with light gray numbers on a background to assist players in layout and judgment, without affecting the visual experience during the game. The number of moves and the determination of the winner can be automatically implemented by the program.

[0012] Game Rules: Basic rule compatibility: It adopts the Go rules of China, Japan and South Korea, but redefines the "board boundary" - all edges are regarded as channels between faces, and there is no traditional concept of edges and corners.

[0013] 3D Extended Rule Base: Cross-face move: Allows the formation of a three-dimensional move path through continuous cross-face moves. 3D eye position: An eye position can be formed by connected empty points on the same face or across faces.
