"tactical" was meant for Chess. In Go, players may use "the other strengths" of go programs. For instance, in November Benjamin Teuber (6d, one of the top German players) was impresssed by CrazyStone's analysis of one of his games (against FJ Dickhut).

For me, Japanese or Korean interface software would also be nice, but currently there is also no good analysis software in the Asian market.
