Description

GridMaster provides a graphical user interface and artificial opponents for the game of Go (Igo, Baduk, Weiqi). This is the pro version (ad-free). It contains a full featured SGF reader/editor, a lite version of the 9x9 Olympic Champion Go program Steenvreter (it also plays larger boards), and a Go Text Protocol (GTP) interface to connect other gtp-compatible engine (so more opponents can be added). It can be used as a tool to play, study Joseki, solve Go problems, make diagrams, annotate games, etc.

If you are new to the game of Go, an introduction as well as some links to more information is included in the help (but only available in English).

Here's a non-exhaustive list of features:
- Full featured SGF reader/editor (perhaps the only Android app to support all properties in SGF4)
- Includes a fairly strong artificial opponent (Steenvreter lite, level configurable, supports ARM and Intel cpu's)
- Ability to add other bots such as Leela Zero, GnuGo, Pachi, or your own GTP engine (for help installing Leela Zero see http://gridmaster.tengen.nl/howto/add_leela_zero.html)
- Tool for reviewing games (easy to rate moves/states, add comments, links, game info, etc.)
- Setup *any* position (including illegal ones, e.g., for demonstration purposes)
- Quickly opens large SGF files such as Kogo's Joseki Dictionary
- Supports all rectangular board sizes up to 52x52
- Tips at start-up (can be turned off)
- Accurate stone placement even on small screens
- Correct wrong input by shifting stones
- Zoom in to show only some part of the board (by pinching)
- Zoom out to show the game tree
- Fast navigation through the game tree (button push+slide action)
- Auto-replay games at configurable rate (long-click forward to start).
- Collection support (i.e., multiple game trees in one file)
- Share option
- Export to image file
- Copy-paste variations/games (also between applications as sgf text)
- Configurable rules (Chinese / Japanese)
- Configurable timing (Absolute / Canadian / Japanese / Stopwatch)
- Configurable sound for stone placement & clock
- Various graphics options (configurable in settings)
- Full screen portrait & landscape modes
- Indicate last and/or next move
- Extensive help, includes an introduction to Go
- Optional debug tab shows GTP streams (the communication between GUI and engine), rules issues, and provides option to send gtp commands manually (double-tap or long-press to pop up dialogs).

Before buying, try out the free version of GridMaster (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.tengen.gridmaster) which is currently identical except for the ads.

Questions & Answers

Q: What is an APK File?

A: Just like Windows (PC) systems use an .exe file for installing software, Android does the same. An APK file is the file format used for installing software on the Android operating system.

Q: If I install an APK from this website, will I be able to update the app from the Play Store?

A: Yes, absolutely. The Play Store installs APKs it downloads from Google's servers, and sideloading from a site like ApkClean.net goes through a very similar process, except you're the one performing the downloading and initiating the installation (sideloading).
As soon as the Play Store finds a version of the app newer than the one you've sideloaded, it will commence an update.

Q: Why ApkClean.net can guarantee APK 100% safe?

A: Whenever someone wants to download an APK file from ApkClean.net, we'll check the corresponding APK file on Google Play and allow user download it directly (of course, we'll cache it on our server). If the APK file does not exist on Google Play, we'll search it in our cache.

Q: What are Android App permissions?

A: Apps require access to certain systems within your device. When you install an application, you are notified of all of the permissions required to run that application.

Don't hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or concerns.

5 ★Great Go App!
5 ★Best go app out there
5 ★I love this app. When my friend and i play on a board, we record our game with Gridmaster. I use it for practice a lot too.
5 ★I love this app, so much so that it made me late for work the one day. Mywife, thinking I would be in the office already, invited her lover to thehouse. He was shocked when I answered the door, but he noticed I wasplaying go and not really paying attention, so he pretended to be aplumber. It really didn't click until the game was over and I heard himplowing her. I'm divorced now. Still, great app.
5 ★A good opponent. Always on the attack with moves that strengthens its influence on the rest of the board . If it is losing it goes into a desperation try anything mode which is somewhat irritating but still makes you think to avoid a silly mistake.
5 ★Best Go client for your mobile device, period. The free version is identical to this one, but I wanted to support the developer because it is so well made. Absolutely worth the $3 price tag. The.coice of different AI engines is great, the interface is intuitive (game tree is innovative and very usable even on small devices), the graphics aren't flashy or distracting. This is a must for any Go player.
5 ★Stopped working on Android 8 - fixed by changing engine
5 ★Great app for me as a beginner, having various levels of AI and a super nice interface for game review
5 ★Simply the best!
5 ★While it stomps me at even, I get a great game with a 9 stone handicap...and still mostly lose. That said, I love how I get my Go fix at any time on my phone. Awesome job! So awesome, I bought the app (upgrading from the free version).
5 ★This is installed on my e-reader. Nice competent AI, great interface for viewing games and commented SGFs. Recommended. Suggestion: option to use volume keys to advance & undo moves in locked games.
5 ★Great app!!!
