Ok found some KGS games, and they make a lot more sense. With the specification I can see what all of the OT, AP, TM, FF, etc commads are. However I don't understand the way it sets the location, so far nothing I've seen describes it.
;B[kr] for example. I thought Go boards used A..x 1..y notation. Perhaps I'm wrong. -Josh On 7/9/07, Joshua Shriver <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Do you have a good example of a regular Go game in sgf? A lot of the examples I found on the SGF spec site seem confusing, and not sure if they're even for Go or backgammon, etc. Also is there a command line go conversion program kinda like pgnextract that lets you modify sgf datasets. Like strip comments, etc. All I really want from a program perspective is move lists and user ranking. -Josh On 7/9/07, Don Dailey <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Mon, 2007-07-09 at 11:49 -0400, Joshua Shriver wrote: > > I really like the pgn format, just viewing it you can get a feel for > > what is going on.
