Go AI Analysis with KataGo
KifuPad connects your Go game record to KataGo analysis so you can compare candidate moves, winrate, score lead, and variations while keeping the review focused on study.
Winrate graph and score lead
Use the winrate graph to find swings and the score lead or point lead to understand the size of the position more directly.
Mistake review without treating AI as a verdict
KataGo is a study aid and review assistant. The goal is to find useful questions, not to turn every candidate move into an unquestionable judgment.
Use KataGo as a review assistant, not a shortcut
Go AI analysis is most useful when it starts a comparison. KifuPad shows KataGo candidate moves, the played move evaluation, winrate, score lead, and variations so you can ask why one direction was preferred.
The result should become a short study note: what shape, connection, cut, life-and-death issue, or endgame value you want to remember for the next game.
What KifuPad shows during Go AI analysis
- KataGo candidate moves on the board
- Winrate graph for finding major swings
- Score lead and point lead context for position size
- Variations that compare your move with a top candidate
- Mistake review based on positions where the evaluation changed
A practical AI review flow
Use AI analysis after you have oriented yourself in the game record.
- Open an SGF, GIB, NGF, or supported game link.
- Replay the game once and mark positions that felt unclear.
- Run KataGo analysis on those positions or inspect the winrate graph.
- Compare candidate moves, score lead, and short variations.
- Write one or two study points instead of trying to memorize every AI move.
Reading winrate and score lead together
Winrate is useful for spotting where the game flow changed. Score lead is often easier to interpret when you want to understand how many points a decision may have cost.
KifuPad presents both so mistake review can be grounded in the position rather than a single percentage number.
Go AI analysis FAQ
Is KataGo always the last word?
No. KataGo is a strong review assistant, but analysis depends on visits, position complexity, and what you are trying to study.
Should I only copy the top candidate move?
Usually no. The better study habit is to compare your move with the candidate and understand the strategic or tactical difference.
What is the difference between winrate and score lead?
Winrate estimates winning chances, while score lead estimates the point margin. Looking at both gives a more stable review picture.
Can I add AI variations to my review?
Yes. KifuPad can use candidate sequences as variations so you can replay the comparison on the board.
Does AI review publish my game record?
No. Public SEO pages and structured data do not include opened records, tracking identifiers, or private game payloads.
