SmartGo Kifu is a versatile tool for Go players. Building on the acclaimed SmartGo Pro for the iPhone, it offers a Go board with everything you need to study Go: professional game records, Go problems, and annotated games. Replay master games, solve problems, play against the computer, and record your own games.

Innovative game replay

SmartGo Kifu provides an innovative way to replay games. In addition to replaying games move by move, you can view each game as a series of figures, with diagrams automatically illustrating comments and variations. SmartGo Kifu comes with 20 professional games annotated by Alexandre Dinerchtein to showcase this feature. You can import any additional commented games and view them the same way.

In this first release, the diagrams are static images. Future versions will let you replay moves directly in the diagrams, but that feature needs some hands-on testing with a real iPad, not just a simulator.

More to come

The iPad seems ideal for Go, and we plan to take full advantage of this device. Please pardon any rough edges in this first release (developed on the simulator only).
