Statistics
KGS Statistics by joncol
- A nice web-based script, providing a basic overview about a player's recent performance.
KGSAccountant by
Matthew Hershberger
- This cute little tool allows to display, filter and graphically evaluate a player's performance in detail, based on the
KGS Archives. It apparently hasn't been adapted to the changed archive page format yet. That's why the names of opponents are not shown correctly.
- (available as binaries for MacOsX and for Windows)
File Beautifying
If you ever have attended a game of any popular high-ranked player at KGS, you probably know what I mean: such games use to be very noisy. Even though the following tools cannot filter the chatter in ongoing games (because CGoban2 is not designed to interact with other applications that way), they convert messy sgf files with myriads of comments into something conveniently readable.
CommentFilter by Chris Goldsmith
- Filters comments based on rank and/or nickname.
- (Perl script)
KibitzCleaner by Blubb Fallo
- Does the same as CommentFilter, moreover allows to set the rank limit automatically to the black players' rank.
- (Python script)
