Usage: sgf [string]
"sgf" stands for "Smart Go Format". Completed games are saved as sgf files,
and they can be replayed by any sgf reader. To find sgf files for a player,
or players, enter: sgf string A "string" can be a player's name, or
part of the name. 'sgf string' will list all sgf files played by a 'string'
that are still stored (usually 6 days). Example: sgf tobe
'sgf tobe' will find _all_ games begining with 'tobe' as part of the string.
'sgf tobe-' will find _only_ 'tobe'.
The sgf files are dated, and the format is: white-black-day-hour-minute
white = white player, black = black player, day = day of the month,
hour and minute = the hour and minute the game was completed. All times on
IGS are given in IGS local time. Format example: jcha-FengYun-18-20-58
To replay sgf files you need an sgf reader. Some clients can read sgf files.
sgf readers are available by 'ftp' from the Go archives. See: help ftp
A few examples of sgf readers are: smartgo41 (SmartGo, Mac), mgt231,
winmgt64, xmgt231, xgoban, and some 'client' programs. sgf game files can
also be printed on any PostScript printer. Use the 'psmail' command to
email a PostScript file of a game to yourself. The 'teach' command will
also review a sgf file. See: help sgfviewing
To replay 'sgf' files on IGS, use the 'teach' command. See: help teach
