## cgoban-1.9.12p1 – X11 Go Toolset

## Description

    CGoban ("Complete Goban") provides a large set of go-related services
    for Unix and X11. A list of the functions that it provides:
      * Play go against another player. When playing a game locally, you
        have a choice of rule sets and time controls. I made a strong
        attempt at implementing the rule sets as precisely as possible:
           + Chinese rules have a true Superko rule.
           + Japanese rules correctly recognize seki and award no points.
           + Japanese rules let you locally resolve disputes at the end of
             the game.
      * Edit and view SGF files. CGoban provides full functionality for
        editing and viewing SGF files.
      * Connect to a go server over the internet. CGoban can connect to
        NNGS or IGS and gives a convenient graphical user interface to the
        server.
      * Act as a bridge to go modem protocol. Go modem protocol has become
        a standard way for computer go programs to communicate. CGoban can
        let you connect to devices (such as modems) speaking go modem
        protocol, act as a graphical board for programs that speak go
        modem protocol out of stdin/stdout, or connect programs to one of
        the internet go servers.
