Re: [computer-go] Storing positions



There has been recurring mistakes about sgf meaning smart Go format, when it really means smart Game format, so maybe we could have an ever so slightly new ggf: the Go Game Format where we use standard A1 to T19 but otherwise use the same structure as sgf. It would obviously be trivial to write an sgf to ggf conversion utility.

Evolution rather than having a huge debate about a whole new format.

And it would be so much easier to read!


Cheers,
David

I won't argue about the ugliness of SGF. Mea culpa. :-) But at least the
move representation is an issue that can be addressed. SmartGo allows you to
read and write SGF with standard coordinates (A1 to T19), and I encourage
other SGF-reading programs to do the same. The following link has more
