Tips wanted

  • Is there a Go client which displays the remaining time SGF's tags "BL" and "WL"?
  • Which Go client or SGF editor imports ascii formatted positions via copy and paste? Or which software tool converts it into SGF? Example:

gGo and qGo can import and export ASCII diagrams.
  • Are there programs that let you connect directly to someone else ? The reason, obviously, is to be able to play games with coworkers during lunchbreaks, and avoiding the corporate firewall, which doesn't allow connections to Go servers on the internet.
Jago can do direct connections to play local games.
And Tango includes an easy to setup NNGS server, so you can use that too.
