Replay the Games of Go Legends

Want to get stronger? There’s no better way than studying the games of top professionals. Our SGF collections let you replay and analyze thousands of games — just load them into your favorite Go app and dive in.

The Lee Sedol pack is a great place to start. You’ll see the fierce reading and creative fighting style that made him one of the most exciting players ever. And yes, we’ve got the AlphaGo games too, including the iconic Lee Sedol vs AlphaGo series that shook the Go world in 2016.

If you prefer a calmer, more positional approach, check out the Lee Changho collection. His endgame precision is something else — and pairs nicely with our endgame flashcards you’ll find on this page.

Today’s Strongest Players

Shin Jinseo, Ke Jie, Park Junghwan — these are the names shaping modern Go right now. We’ve put together SGF packs for all three so you can see how the game is played at the very top today.

Choi Jeong’s pack is a must-have too. She’s one of the strongest female players in Go history, and her aggressive, versatile style is incredibly fun to study.

Classic Masters Worth Knowing

Go is thousands of years old, and some of the most brilliant games were played long before AI entered the picture. Go Seigen completely changed how we think about openings — many call him the greatest player of the 20th century. Cho Chikun’s collection spans decades of top-level Japanese Go.

Going even further back, we have games by Huang Longshi from the Qing dynasty, plus the Yi Kuo tsumego collection — classical problems published in 1710 that are still tough enough to make modern dan players sweat.

Nie Weiping’s games capture the era when Chinese Go was rising to dominance. And for fans of Michael Redmond — the only Western player to reach 9 dan — his pack offers a unique perspective on competing at the professional level.

Not Just Game Records

Study doesn’t always happen on a screen. We’ve got printable Go boards in 9×9 and 13×13 — great for teaching at your club or playing a quick game at home. And if endgame counting is your weak spot (let’s be honest, it’s everyone’s weak spot), grab our endgame flashcards in PDF or Anki format.

Whether you’re replaying a Honinbo Shusaku classic, working through tsumego offline, or just looking for something to study on the train — you’ll find it here.
