Kifu Master: Go Game Database

About Kifu Master: Go Game Database

Kifu Master brings over 180,000 professional Go (baduk / weiqi / igo) games to your phone — searchable by player, event and year, with player names unified across English, Chinese, Japanese and Korean. Review pro games, test yourself by playing them from memory, and record and manage your own games as SGF files.

PROFESSIONAL GAME DATABASE Regularly updated with new games, the archive covers the great title tournaments of Japan, Korea and China — Honinbo, Meijin, Kisei — international events like the LG Cup and Samsung Cup, and historical classics going back centuries. It is far more than an unsorted collection: fast filters take you straight to the games you want, from Shin Jinseo, Ke Jie, Lee Sedol, Iyama Yuta and Cho Chikun to classics like Go Seigen and Honinbo Shusaku.

ONE PLAYER, ONE NAME Player names are unified across languages and romanizations: "Lee Changho", "Yi Ch'ang-ho" and "이창호" all lead to the same player and the same set of games. Inconsistent spellings of Chinese, Japanese and Korean names are normalized automatically, so you never miss a game because of how a name was written.

PLAY FROM MEMORY Think you know a game by heart? Play the moves yourself on the board. Each correct move keeps the game going, and your statistics track how many moves of each game you have memorized.

PERSONAL LIBRARY Record your own games as they happen and keep them all in one place. - Import & export: Save games as SGF or PNG, and open SGF files from outside the app. - Organized archive: "Favorites" and "Recent" take you back to any game instantly. - Offline access: Review downloaded games even without an internet connection.

ADVANCED SGF VIEWER Kifu Master pairs the elegant SGF viewer of the Sabaki ecosystem with a vast Go archive, and adds features of its own: adjustable-speed autoplay, optional board coordinates, and board themes including Ayvalık, Kimchi, Sakura and Dao.

ANDROID TV Kifu Master also runs on Android TV and Google TV with a clean, remote-friendly interface. Open the latest pro games and your favorites, and let games autoplay on the big screen — ideal for clubs, lectures and study groups. Sign in by scanning a QR code with your phone; your autoplay speed stays in sync across phone, TV and web.

SIX LANGUAGES Available in English, Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Russian and Turkish.

FREE AND PREMIUM The free version lets you review the first 6 games you select and add 3 of them to your favorites. If you enjoy Kifu Master, the monthly Premium subscription removes all limits and unlocks every feature.

FEEDBACK Bug reports, suggestions and feature requests are always welcome — please write to me directly. Kifu Master is built and maintained by a single developer who is also a Go player, so everything you send comes straight to me, and I read all of it. Your ideas may show up in the app sooner than you expect.

Enjoy your games!
