Sabaki for MAC
Free, open-source Go board and SGF editor for Mac: review and annotate games, play against Go engines and see their analysis.
Sabaki Overview
Sabaki is a modern, elegant Go board and SGF editor for the game of Go, also called Baduk or Weiqi. It reads and saves SGF game files and collections and opens NGF and GIB files. You can annotate positions and moves, write comments in Markdown, add markup such as lines and arrows, and navigate variations in a fast game tree, even in huge files such as Kogo's Joseki Dictionary. Stones bump around a little when placed, like on a real board.
Sabaki can score your games by area or territory counting and estimate who is ahead mid-game. You can play against Go engines that use the Go Text Protocol, such as GNU Go and Pachi, let two engines play each other, and see analysis from supported engines. Sabaki is made by Yichuan Shen and is free and open source under the MIT license. Version 0.60.0 moves it to a current Electron runtime and runs natively on Apple Silicon; there are separate downloads for Apple Silicon and Intel Macs.
