SmartGo Kifu is a versatile tool for Go players. Building on the acclaimed SmartGo Pro for the iPhone, it offers a Go board with everything you need to study Go: professional game records, Go problems, and annotated games. Replay master games, solve problems, play against the computer, and record your own games.




Innovative Game Replay

SmartGo Kifu provides an innovative way to replay games. In addition to replaying games move by move, you can view each game as a series of figures, with diagrams automatically illustrating comments and variations. SmartGo Kifu comes with 30 professional games annotated by Alexandre Dinerchtein and Michael Redmond 9 dan to showcase this feature. You can import any additional commented games and view them the same way.

Unlike a book, you can replay the moves inside each diagram.

Library of Professional Games

SmartGo Kifu comes with over 60,000 games by more than 900 professional players, including 350 games by Honinbo Shusaku, 750 games by Go Seigen, and 990 games by Takemiya Masaki.
