SGF viewers

  • Reference free software: GoSuite: Reliable display and editing of SGF files, with variations and all sorts of markup, play against GNU Go. Some small limitations: * It doesn't seem to be possible to promote a variation to be the main line of the game. * Only one game can be opened at once and no "Recent files"-menu and therefore switching between games is cumbersome.
  • [ext] MultiGo edits SGF. Has lots of features, including variations. Fast switching between games. Cannot edit comments.
  • Miniban Free SGF editor/viewer for the Pocket PC. Cannot handle variations.
  • [ext] Remote GnuGo is a modification of GoSuite that adds the feature to play against an GTP engine running on a remote PC
  • [ext] Pocket GNU Go Based on GNU Go 2.6.3
  • [ext] MobileGo Price? Works also with Windows Mobile 5.0. Integrated (very weak) computer player.
  • [ext] PocketGo Used to be a "Very nice, free SGF editor/viewer for the Pocket PC", but Sep2007 the download site is down.

Use software from a "real" computer with remote desktop software

If all else fails, you're free to use Terminal Services Client to connect to your desktop machine and run whatever software you like: play on IGS, KGS, etc.
