Open the game record first
Start from an SGF, GIB, NGF, or supported game link so the review stays tied to the actual move order.

Go Game Review Online
KifuPad gives you a browser-based Go game review workflow: open a game record, replay the moves, find turning points, and use KataGo only where comparison helps your study.
Find turning points
Use move navigation, comments, variations, winrate, and score lead to locate the positions that changed the game.
Compare, then write a note
KataGo candidate moves are most useful when they lead to one short study point for your next game.
A practical flow for reviewing a Go game
A good Go game review starts by replaying the record without rushing to AI. First understand the opening direction, the middle-game fights, and the endgame choices that shaped the result.
KifuPad then lets you bring in KataGo candidate moves, winrate, and score lead only around the positions where comparison helps you ask a better question.
Review a Go game in five steps
Keep the review short enough to remember.
- Open an SGF, GIB, NGF, or supported game link.
- Replay the game once and mark positions that felt unclear.
- Run AI analysis on those positions or use the winrate graph to find swings.
- Compare your move with a top candidate and a short variation.
- Save one or two study notes for the next game.
What to look for during review
- Moves where the score lead changed sharply
- Local fights where connection, cutting, or life-and-death direction mattered
- Endgame moves where point value was larger than it looked
- Moves where your plan and KataGo's top candidate show different priorities
- Positions that deserve a short variation rather than a long list of AI moves
Private records stay separate from public pages
KifuPad's public English pages explain the review workflow. Opened game records, comments, move lists, and tracking identifiers are not added to public SEO pages or the sitemap.
Go game review FAQ
Can I review my Go game without installing software?
Yes. KifuPad runs in the browser and can open supported game records for review.
Is AI analysis required for every move?
No. It is usually better to review the flow first and use AI analysis around unclear or high-impact positions.
What does score lead add beyond winrate?
Winrate shows momentum, while score lead helps estimate the size of the position in points.
Can I add variations while reviewing?
Yes. You can add short variations to compare a played move with an AI candidate or your own idea.
Will my reviewed game appear in search results?
No. Opened records are not added to public SEO pages or the sitemap.
