sgf2pdf

Here is another unfinished project which nevertheless might be useful for somebody. Using Python and the Reportlab toolkit, the script goboard.py produces a pdf file showing a given position on the go board. The position has to be given in wiki format (as used by Sensei's Library), and as in SL diagrams, stones can be labelled with 1-10, and other labels can be put at empty points.

One thing you can do with a pdf is to produce an image file from it - the example here was produced in this way, and so were the pictures of go problems used to prevent comments from spam bots.

There is also a sgf2pdf.py script, which is not at all finished however. I doubt it is actually usable right now, but maybe someone wants to have a look at it. It uses the sgfparser.py which comes with Kombilo.

Black to play	To avoid comments by spam bots, I kindly request you to try to solve the go problem displayed here. I hope I managed to find problems that are not too hard even for beginners, and I apologize to all stronger players if the problems are boring for them. If you get the problem wrong, your comment will not be lost, but will be visible only after manual inspection. Sorry for the inconvenience. Please type the coordinates of black's next move into the box below (e. g. C3). (In a few cases there is more than one correct answer - just pick one.) If JavaScript is enabled, you can instead just click on the board.
