Go++

Go++ 7.0, developed by R.A.I., is a standout in the Games category, specifically within the Board subcategory, and has consistently gained respect as the winner of numerous international computer Go tournaments. As a commercial software, this program represents the culmination of over twenty years of research and development by R.A.I., promising a refined and challenging experience for enthusiasts of the game.

Go++ 7.0 supports Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, 10, and 11, making it accessible to a wide range of PC users. Unfortunately for Linux users, it requires Wine to run, so be prepared for an additional step in set-up.

Among its many features, Go++ caters to players of all skill levels with five distinct playing levels, from beginner to expert. This makes it an excellent choice whether you're just starting out or looking for a formidable challenge. Adding to its flexibility, the game offers a handicap option and supports various board sizes (19x19, 13x13, 9x9), allowing users to tailor their gameplay experience to their liking.

Notably, the program provides Load and Save options in both SGF and ISHI formats, ensuring you can easily manage your game files. The ability to step back or forwards to any point in the game is particularly useful for in-depth analysis and learning from past matches. More
