Review Go games online
Move through the game record, add comments, inspect variations, and compare important positions with KataGo when you need AI review support.
Private game records stay out of public SEO pages
Opened game records are not published in public SEO pages or the sitemap. Public pages describe the tool, not user game records.
How to review Go games online with an SGF viewer
An online SGF viewer should first make the game record easy to read. KifuPad focuses on a clean board, move navigation, comments, variations, and a review flow that works from a browser tab.
After opening the file, you can scan the whole kifu, stop at moves that changed the game, and use KataGo analysis only where comparison helps your study.
What you can open in KifuPad
- SGF files from common Go tools and servers
- Supported GIB and NGF game records
- Supported OGS or other game links when the importer can read them
- Go kifu records with comments, move order, and variations where the source format provides them
- Handicap records when setup stones and first-move color can be recovered from the file

Privacy note for opened game records
KifuPad's public SEO pages do not publish opened game titles, names, move lists, comments, or tracking identifiers.
The searchable pages explain how to use the SGF viewer and review Go games online. Your opened records remain separate from public discovery pages unless you choose a separate sharing workflow.
