Life In 19x19

Hi, i'm trying to print some games to review. These games have comments and variation.

I've looked at gokifu, but it doesn't handle comments.
I also tried sgf to print, but it's broken.

25 to 50 moves max per diagram + a new diagram at each comment would be great.
Any suggestion ?

Does it have to be online?

If not, Drago and gowrite would work I think.

Well, i would prefer it to be online, as the only printer I have is at work, and I'd rather not install any go tool on my work computer. I can always prepare the print as a pdf at home and print here too if no online tool are suitable.

I already tested the two you mention, but neither did exactly what I wanted, but I don't remember how. I'll try again to see exactly what was missing, but it was probably the break at each comment that wasn't done.

If you can't get it to work woth Drago, ask Gilles (the Drago author). It is an incredible peace of software that can do pretty much everything if configured correctly.

I don't know if there's any way of letting the author (Joel Yliluoma <bisqwit (@at@) iki.fi>) know and get it fixed, but sgf to print does handle comments very nicely if you can get it to work.

His page at Finnish Go Wiki says that he can be reached via email or IRC "Bisqwit". I don't know if that is still valid, the page hasn't been updated in since Feb 2004.

Optimal from my practice of printed books 1 diagram 100 moves . A4 - will contain 2-3 diagrams for games...

with variants probably additional pages...

You don't mention for which platform - but in case you're a linux/unix user there is an awesome utility called sgf2dg.

http://gokifu.com/e/af.pdf

http://gokifu.com contain's many pdf's

http://gobase.org/online/sgf2misc/ -- Old but decent. Now that I've seen the one masek recommends, though, I think it might be better...

The GoBase one definitely supports variations and such though.

Needs an accout to be used.

Just a comment : you can get Drago without any install on your machine (see "portable version").

I can't seem to download that.

Edit: Nevermind, it was temporary.
