89.103.185.10: Go software for studying/reviewing sgf games (2014-12-29 20:28) [#10357]

(Crossposted at [ext] http://boardgames.stackexchange.com/q/21296/1845, it's probably better if you answer there)

I got a great review of my game ([ext] http://files.gokgs.com/games/2014/12/28/tomast-2.sgf from another player on GoKGS. So I got this *.sgf file with lots of variants (tree branches) with lots of comments... So now I am looking for a good piece of software that would:

1. Allow me to browse through all the variants and not get lost (it would be great if it could distinguish the variants I've already seen or something, otherwise I can get lost easily...)

2. There were certain situations (like in move 51) where the reviewer told me "this is the key point to kill the opponents group". I would like to experiment with this. It would be nice if the software could tell me if the group is alive or dead - i.e. some help in the analysis, since I am (as a beginner) not always able to find the optimal move for either side... (I've heard of GoTools, but 1) I've also heard that they have lots of bugs, besides of being closed & paid only and 2) I don't know how they comply with requirement 1).

Thanks in advance!

Tomas

Why not just use cgoban?

Does CGoban allow to analyze life and death of a certain group?

PS: thanks for the tip, I see that the tree is displayed much more nicely than in Panda-glGo I was using up to now.. and it allows to display the variants, which is great! However it seems that still I have to remember which variants I have already tried, right?

There's an option to label existing variations, if I remember well. But it's probably better and simpler to just remember.

OK. What about the requirement number 2 - analysis?

There are not many editors doing that. I think mad go lab did this... not sure if it is still available
