Read full description

围棋SGF阅读器,是为iMac版本的围棋狗打谱软件配套而开发的,便于用户通过iTunes的共享文件功能,将通过围棋狗打谱软件导出的SGF格式的棋谱文件导入到阅读器中,再用阅读器打开这些文件,对SGF棋谱进行演示。便于用户在iPhone或iPad上欣赏自己的棋谱文件。由于SGF文件格式不统一,本阅读器只保证对围棋狗导出的SGF文件的阅读正确性,对于从网上下载的SGF围棋棋谱,不推荐用该阅读器来演示棋谱,正确性不能保证。 为方便起见,阅读器本身还附带一些经典棋谱。 如何将SGF文件导入?首先,将设备连接到电脑,然后, (1) 如果您的苹果电脑macOS系统是较早前的版本,打开电脑上的iTunes,找到共享文件选项,找到围棋SGF阅读器,添加SGF文件到文件夹。 (2) 如果您的苹果电脑是macOS Catalina 或 Big Sur或后续版本,您可以直接使用“访达”将SGF文件添加到iPhone/iPad中的“围棋SGF阅读器”的共享文件夹。
