Stellungen und Partien kopieren und einfügen

When the board has focus, choose Edit > Copy to copy the current board position, then choose Edit > Paste to insert that position as a new game in this or a different tab. Use View > Partial Board to only copy part of a position,

When the game list has focus, choose Edit > Copy to copy the selected games, then choose Edit > Paste to insert a copy of those games in this or a different tab. (This does not work for encrypted library games.)

You can also copy positions as ASCII rather than SGF.

Alt-Taste auf dem Brett

Hold down the Alt key and click on a board point to go to the position where you played a certain move.

While you hold down Alt and mouse over the board, all the moves in the game are shown (see below). Just click to go to a move.

Shift-Taste auf dem Brett

Use the Shift key to change a function from black to white and vice versa:

  • Hold down Shift while you play a move to enter a move for your opponent.
  • Hold down Shift while adding black stones to add white stones instead.
  • Hold down Shift while marking black territory to mark white territory instead.

Rechts-klicken auf dem Brett

Click the right mouse button on the board to display a popup menu. You can use this menu to mark a move as bad without having to go back to the position where you played that move, for example.

Den gegenwärtigen Zug ziehen

On a real Go board, you can put down your stone and slide it smoothly to where you want to play. Your other Go programs don't support this? SmartGo does.

You also can easily move a stone after you've played it. Just click and hold the most recent move (it will be shown selected) and drag it to a new position.

Associate SGF with SmartGo

Want SmartGo to start when you double-click an SGF file? Simply choose Tools > Options > Reset > Associate SGF with SmartGo.

Den nächsten Zug raten

An excellent way to study a professional game is to think about each move and decide where you would play it, then check the actual move. SmartGo supports this mode of play with Guess Next Move mode.

Choose Replay > Guess Next Move, and SmartGo rejects any move you play unless it matches the move played in the game.

Partien markieren

You can mark games with a hotspot or checkmark by right-clicking on the game in the games list and choosing 'Mark Game' or 'Check Game'. You can sort games by those marks by clicking on the header of the first column in the game list.
