GoGoD DATABASE

The GoGoD database has (as of April 2008) over 51,200 pro games in sgf format.

You can add your own games to the database, but the ones we offer cover the entire spectrum of professional play in Japan, China, Korea and Taiwan, and the whole range of historical games (including sunjang go).

Complete records of nearly all title match games are already there - and for the rest we are getting there! We pride ourselves on having the most accurate and fullest details for every game.



The database includes the complete known games of several players, such as Go Seigen (left) and massive collections for many others. Some typical numbers of games stored for popular players or categories are given below. In GoGoD parlance, a player who is represented by 1000+ games is a "milligod." We have 13.
