Kombilo

Kombilo is a go database program. Its main purpose is to search for games in which a given pattern or position occurs. You can also search for other criteria (like time period, players, events). This program does not come with any game records, but you can import games in SGF format, so for example you can use one of the game collections which are freely available for download. The GoGod database by John Fairbairn and T Mark Hall is also an excellent choice (by the way: Kombilo is now included on the GoGoD CD).

References to commentaries updated, bugfix release

I have updated the file with references to game commentaries in the English go literature included in kombilo. To use it with your existing kombilo installation, just download it and copy it to the kombilo folder: references. (The file name must be references.)

I also prepared a (long overdue) bugfix release for kombilo, kombilo05n.tar.gz (for Linux/Mac OS X) which includes the updated references file and mainly fixes some problems on 64bit platforms and with old Python versions. See installing kombilo, compiling the C++ extensions. There are no changes to the functionality, and if you have a running kombilo version, there is no need to update - you can just download the references file, if you are interested in that information.

Libkombilo in Drago 3.0

About two weeks ago, Gilles Arcas published the new version of Drago, an SGF editor with lots of features (exercise go problems, print diagrams ...). The new version includes the libkombilo library and can do pattern searches and searches for game information (players, etc.). In my opinion, Gilles succeeded in creating a very intuitive user interface for the pattern search. Drago is freeware for Windows.
