Go Grinder

    Keywords: Software

GoGrinder is a Java program for practicing Go problems. It uses problems in SGF format. 347 problems are included in the install, and thousands more are easily downloadable. GoGrinder can import the archived problems from goproblems.com, and sort them by type and difficulty (see docs for instructions). Converting problem books to SGF is an excellent source of material for GoGrinder. Recommended books include Graded Go Problems for Beginners, Get Strong at Go, and Mastering the Basics.

I'm looking for people interested in helping to translate GoGrinder to other languages. If anyone is interested, let me know at timkington at gmail dot com.

So far it has been translated to:

  • German
  • Russian
  • French
  • Spanish
  • Portugese
  • Chinese
  • Czech

Questions

MichaelLesniak: At first I'd like to thank you for this great piece of software. But I have a small problem unsure how to solve: I downloaded problems from goproblems.com using the Goproblemscom2gquizSh - script and with some of the problems I get the error message

  Error parsing SGF file, skipping problem
  File: ....
  illegal start of token string:) in )

Any idea how to solve this issues?
