Single weight set plays Go on Penrose tilings and 3D lattices via zero-shot transfer.

Strengths
  • Coordinate-free topology-aware architecture enables genuine cross-substrate tactical transfer.
  • Feature-leakage-controlled probing analysis shows decodability is architectural not learned.
  • Playable webapp demo lets you test the engine on exotic board geometries.
Weaknesses
  • Research paper format limits immediate practical utility for most developers.
  • Niche audience of Go engine researchers and ML academics, not general developers.
