gnugo

Play the game of Go

GNU Go is a program that plays the game of Go, in which players place stones on a grid to form territory or capture other stones. While it can be played directly from the terminal, rendered in ASCII characters, it is also possible to play GNU Go with 3rd party graphical interfaces or even in Emacs. It supports the standard game storage format (SGF, Smart Game Format) and inter-process communication format (GMP, Go Modem Protocol).
