Alejo's Tenuki

Finally, Moyo Go Studio, known as one of the best Go programs, has been released for free by the author. Currently it is only available for Windows and I still haven’t tried so this is NOT a review and I can’t tell if I’ll make it work under Unix.

For the feature list I’d send you to the author’s site, but here is a short list I extracted:
- Joseki, tesuji, fuseki and shape expert.
- Kombilo-style pattern search
- GnuGo client
- SGF editor
- Sql database system
- Export to Sensei’s Library format
- Sensei’s Library search
- Audio commentary

The limitations of the free product is that it lacks the 400.000 professional games database, there won’t be updates or bug-fixes and the publishing/printing tool isn’t available.

The download can be done through mule, bittorrent or direct download.
I’ve uploaded the file to a file hosting service so that we all have it for direct download instead of peer-to-peer. I just downloaded the program from bittorrent at a 170 k/s ratio, which is just fine anyway. This is the address for the direct download:

Please, if you want to tell this link to anyone, refer them to the blog.

Updated: Moyo Go Studio has been re-released as not freeware, please visit this post for more information:The Return of the Jedi: MGS is back!

As far as I know, most free versions of MGS have been deleted from the internet and their distribution is illegal.
