UGF is the system for Go game files used by the Panda Egg IGS Go client. It can only be used with PandaEgg. -- Tim Brent

I've checked a few Japanese language go websites (including Shuukan Go), and it seems to me that they all use UGF format. -- Fhayashi

BobMcGuigan: Most of the web pages of the newspapers that sponsor the Japanese titles use UGF for their "live" presentations of the title match games. If you install the Panda Egg IGS client and visit these newspaper web pages, when you click on the "live" button Panda Egg will activate and show the game move by move. The newspaper web page URLs are at Japanese Go Column URLs


Other systems and sites use UGF, but they are usually marginal. There exists a converter from UGF to SGF : [ext] http://gobase.org/online/sgf2misc/

gGo and glGo can read (but not write) games in UGF format.

Another standalone converter from UGS to SGF is available here: [ext] http://panda-igs.joyjoy.net/English/glgo/ugf2sgf/. This does basically the same as loading/saving a game in glGo but should be more convinient to use on a larger collection of files.

Bob Myers: Does anyone know where to find a spec for UGF?
