CgfGoBan

• What is CgfGoBan?

  CgfGoBan is a Go GUI program for Windows XP/10/11.
  Go Engine is provided by DLL, and GTP. You can run your original go engine by replacing DLL or setting GTP.
  GTP is more useful.

• What is a merit of using CgfGoBan?

  CgfGoBan has SGMP(Standard Go Modem Protocol) via RS-232C(COM port). SGMP protocol has been used many Computer Go tournaments like a Computer Olympiad. And CgfGoBan has NNGS protocol via TCP/IP. NNGS protocal has been used in Gifu Challenge 2004. You can enter these tournament easily by using CgfGoBan. And CgfGoban is a open source program and I don't insist any Copyright. You can modify freely.
  

• DownLoad

  Download CgfGoBan 1.12 2023/07/27 with source code. Windows11
  

• How to make DLL

  DLL name is cgfthink.dll. Dll source is in \cgfthink.
  makefile is for Borland C++5.51 (free).

• How to play GnuGo on CgfGoban

  download gnugo.exe from Teun Burger's page.
  File name is "gnugo-mingw-36.exe". Rename this to "gnugo.exe".
  
  Run cgfgoban.exe. And "Setting", "GTP Setting".
  Set gnugo.exe full path. For example, if gnugo.exe is put
  
  c:\go\gnugo\gnugo.exe
  
  set like this,
  
  c:\go\gnugo\gnugo.exe --mode gtp --never-resign
  
  --mode gtp means running GnuGo via GTP.
  --never-resign means doing not resign.
  
  And "Play" "Start Game", select "Computer(GTP)".
  
  If you check "Use Gnugo in Life and Death View", you can use GnuGo's life-and-death status.
  But if you push life-and-death button in middle game, GnuGo will think very long time.
  You should use when after two pass.
