440 Go Problems


This is a tool that collects problems for the game of Go. It downloads all problems from http://igo.web.infoseek.co.jp/cgi-bin/mondai/mondai.htm and saves them in sgf format. This enables you to use them in your favourite problem solving program such as GoGrinder etc. The problems are relatively easy, but not for complete beginners.

This tool was previously hosted at the GoDiscussions forum but seeing as a forum is not the best place to host software I have moved it here to SourceForge instead. For the original announcement, see this thread.

The program will run on any windows computer with .NET framework 2.0 or greater installed. If you don't know what .NET is you probably already have it. Perhaps it also works on linux/mac with mono installed, I haven't tried.

PS. There is a 0.5 second wait between every download so the webserver won't confuse problem-hungry go players with a DDOS attack.

Download the program from the Downloads page.

Please use the forum on the Project page for questions etc
