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