Could you build this?

Partial The UI and basic game mechanics for Go can be coded with AI, but running multi-difficulty Go AI engines (like KataGo/Leela Zero adaptations) efficiently on mobile or backend requires specialized game AI compilation and optimization.

What it would actually take: A complete implementation requires Flutter or Unity for cross-platform board rendering and turn state management. The challenging component is integrating a neural-network Go engine (such as Katago or GnuGo) either embedded via C++ NDK/Metal or hosted on GPU instances, requiring tuning for mobile latency and multiple calibrated difficulty tiers.
