How to unlock the High five achievement in The Path of Go - Definitive Guide
In order to bypass the problem, you need to sign out of your profile and sign back in on the game's menu.
Get yourself a boosting buddy as this game is dead online. Both of you search for a ranked match (this can take a very long time... 5 minutes at most). Once you two are put together you will both be randomly chosen as the black/white stones holder.
If white wants to win, have both players pass without placing any stones. White is always handicapped a few points at the start.
If black wants the win, get black to place several stones down and white to keep passing. Both then pass until it concludes black will win. If it's not enough, you can continue until you get it.
You can either do this legit, or get a boosting buddy. In a boosting game neither player plays any stones, just passes. This gives white the win.
Have you and your boosting partner each pass your first turn. This will give the white stone player the win thanks to the komi rule. If you're having trouble getting the right player to be the white stone player, just have the person winning take enough turns to get enough points to beat out the komi rule with the loser passing each turn.
As a side note, the multiplayer makes it harder to match up when your trueskill rankings are further apart. So if you feel like making the extra effort in game instead of while matchmaking just take turns winning instead of just giving the win to the white stone player. Your choice. Both methods work and it still honestly doesn't take that long either way.
