There's an assumption implicitly made here, which does not accord with my experience of frisbee Go: that the player will always aim at an intersection. Suppose I want to play on either of two adjacent points, and I don't care which. If I aim for one of them, I will land on one of them with probabi

You could express the intended move as a pair of real numbers. A random offset is then added, following some probability distribution (Gaussian, or uniform in a disk of a certain radius, or ...), and then the result is rounded to the nearest point of integer coordinates. What possibilities does thi
