Is there a record for most stones to fill the board in a go game? Dumb question I know, but its something I've been curious about for awhile. This game left very little real estate on the board at its conclusion

Two comments:
The position you show is not at the conclusion of a game, there are still unfilled dame points. If you were using Chinese rules, it was in the players' interests to fill these; if Japanese, the rules require you to fill them, though they do not absolutely insist on it. |

Are you talking about a real game? Because it could go all the way to 359 if the players are willing... |

The longest pro game is 400 and something, I don't remember where I saw it. |

There was a game with 411 moves between Yamabe Toshiro and Hoshino Toshi in the Oteai on 1950-12-20 listed at FamousGamesInvolvingKo. Of course this involves ko, so it wouldn't necessarily be the game ending with the least open spaces at the end. The OP has a good question: what's the pro game that has ended with the least open spaces at the end? Or perhaps: what's the pro game with the least open spaces after adding in dame if the game was scored with japanese scoring. Or: what's the pro game with the least open spaces at the point at which the temperature dropped to zero? |
