Pro games collection updated to 134,497 games, adding almost 2,000 games. Would have been an even 134,500 except that there are three 21 × 21 games in GoGoD that SmartGo One can’t handle.
Really interesting opening in the most recent game of Ichiriki Ryo vs Shibano Toramaru (2025-10-01e), big trade in the lower left corner. Check it out.
Liquid Glass is coming to SmartGo One. Some of it is ready now, more to come.
“The 1971 Honinbo Tournament” chronicles Ishida’s first major triumph, analyzing his 7 games in the Honinbo league as well as his 6 games in the title match against Rin Kaiho. Every game is analyzed in great detail (327 figures, 460 diagrams). Written by James Davies based on the commentaries of Iwamoto Kaoru 9-dan; out of print for the last 10 years. Don’t let the “1971” scare you off, this book is still relevant and exciting.

Glad I managed to get a small feature update out on Monday before Apple gave developers a lot of Liquid Glass homework for the summer. On Mac and iPad, when using a trackpad or mouse to enter moves, a ghost stone appears on the board under the cursor (can be turned off in Settings > Move Input > Show Ghost Moves). I’ve just verified that this also works with the hover state of the Pencil on iPad.
SmartGo One users* will now see an additional thousand pro games in their collection, bringing the total to over 131,000. Also, the newest update adds Show Joseki* to the context menu when you tap and hold on a corner stone (that feature uses the game collection to figure out where the pros played).
* requires Pro subscription
