I've used qGo for SGF viewing for a long time, and I'm wondering if there are any good alternatives these days. I'd like, if possible, to have the option of vector stones (anti-aliased), and a customizable board/background. (This is what makes cgoban less than ideal for me.) I'd also like a tree view of any variations, and a comment window with a customizable font. Extra points if it can print diagrams.

What do you guys use? Has there been some sort of revolution in this area since I fell out of the Go world and got married?

Do you mean for linux users, because I can't think of anyone else that would be using qGo.

I am using Windows. I haven't played regularly in a few years; qGo was a good choice at the time that I used it.

I use mostly drago and multigo.

Go is such a beautiful game.

While we're asking; which sgf viewers can read data other than the file name when you open an sgf? Are any of them for Linux?

qGo is very useful for playing on igs and for viewing sgf files with many variations. It also writes and understands the BL and OB tags in sgf so you can track the time you used. But it is not so useful for creating pretty diagrams.

As for other sgf viewers. I have always missed something from qGo or they have lost me games on servers T_T



You might try glGo and gogui.
