弈伴 Yiban: a Go companion for parents who do not know Go

yiban.app Observed source
Editorial interest 84/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

An offline companion that helps parents record a child’s move on a physical Go board, choose the intent of their reply, and play it back on the board.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

The proposed workflow keeps the physical board central: a parent records the child’s move in the app, selects a numbered response by intent, plays it on the real board, and confirms it. The site says records remain on the device and that core analysis works offline. Its reference material is organized as six chapters and 33 short lessons, covering subjects from liberties and capture through life-and-death positions, board evaluation, and endgame.
