RE: computer-go: 9*9 game records

[Jean-Pierre Vesinet <jpvesinet@xxxxxxxxxx>]

There is a an applet on the web that displays a lot of professional 9x9
games played on a Japanese TV. I don't know whether this is the collection
of games you are looking for.

http://www01.tjsys.co.jp/minigo/

On this page it is said that "Any unauthorized reproduction or republishing
of these records is expressly prohibited", but I suppose private use is OK.
If you are interested I have a little Java program for downloading them all
in SGF format.
