GoGoD CD
Keywords: Software
The As interesting as the CD is however, it took a quantum leap forward when I downloaded Kombilo to use with it. This combination may well change the way amateurs study fuseki. The current version, issued end November 2002, has over 20,300 pro games with full data. The CD includes so many other goodies, such as my monster Names Dictionary, that we are now referring to it as the GoGoD Encyclopaedia. It also includes Kombilo, by kind permission of Ulrich Goertz. We provide updates several times a year. The latest update has a new Go Seigen game.(John Fairbairn) Latest version is dated April 2003 and has 22,150+ games. JF mgoetze: So, I'm wondering whether I should buy this CD and I have some questions... does it have any commented Kitani games which are not against Go Seigen? Ideally, from before 1935 or so? What percentage approximately is commented? Also, how many of those 22,150+ games are also available on GoBase? Thanks in advance to any answerers... Using GoGoD on a MacintoshRichard Hunter: The software such as Josekibase does not work of course, but all the games in the database are simple sgf text files, so you can view these in your favourite go program. The file names hard to identify but there is a text file listing all the games. This enables you to find the game you want. The game files are in separate folders for years or decades. On Mac OS9, Smart Go Board can open a folder and present all the games as a collection. I allocated a large amount of memory, but otherwise no problem. Then you can see the players' names etc. Goban on OSX can open a collection, but seems unable to create one! This is a copy of the living page "GoGoD CD" at Sensei's Library. ![]() |
