Tree View

The tree view in SmartGo makes navigation easy. By compressing regular black-white-black-white move sequences and emphasizing branch points and annotations, the tree view reveals the structure of an annotated game.

Play vs. Computer

Based on the powerful KataGo engine, SmartGo One will challenge you mercilessly. Play against the computer, take back moves, get hints, have the computer estimate the balance of territory. Replay the game and explore different variations.

Record and Edit Games

Game recording and editing features have been fine-tuned through actual use at many tournaments, so it’s a snap to record your over-the-board games. For example, you can adjust misplaced moves, insert a pair of moves, add comments, and email the game record to your opponent.
