This Go app lets you follow professional Go matches in real time and review completed games from the day of the match. It includes over 15,000 games, from domestic tournaments like the Meijin, Kisei, and Honinbo titles to the Chinese and Korean leagues.
■ View Live Matches
The "Live Broadcast" on the home screen displays games being played today. Live game records are automatically updated, and a "live broadcast" indicator appears on the board, making it easy to distinguish between live and completed games. If you rewind to the desired move, new moves won't automatically jump to the end of the game.
■ Review and Investigate
- Search by player name or tournament name
- Sort by newest or most popular
- Display coordinates on the board. Use "A8" and "G5" to indicate positions
- Captured stones, move count, and win rate graphs
■ Daily Go News
- Breaking news on tournaments, photos of sealed moves, and explanatory videos. Understanding the context of a game before playing it changes how you view the same game record.
■ Train with Tsumego (Go problems)
Includes daily practice problems. Correct/incorrect answers are judged immediately, and incorrect moves remain on the board, allowing you to see where you went wrong. The game is saved up to the point you solved it, so you can continue from where you left off the next time you open it.
■ Get to Know Go Players
The Go strength ranking shows "who is currently strong." You can filter by rank, country, and gender, and track each player's game records.
■ Ask the AI about moves you don't understand
Open a game record and press "Ask the AI" to ask about that game.
・"What was the 76th move?" → The board moves to the 76th move and the explanation begins.
・"Where did the game change?" → The entire game is scanned to find the losing move.
・"What should I have played after this move?" → The game continues from the current position on the board.
When the AI touches a move or coordinate, the board moves along with it. If you say, "M8 is a critical point," M8 will be marked, so you won't get confused about what you're talking about. The commentary doesn't just list win percentages; it explains what the opponent's previous move was aiming for, where the current position is weak, and why that particular move is critical, including variations.
