Igo Meikan — About this game
``Go Directory'' is not a Go game where you play freely against a computer, but a viewing and learning software that reproduces professional game records. Contains 40 games, including the 1988 Seven Major Title Matches, and in ``Watching Famous Games,'' you can follow the steps that appear on the board automatically or one move at a time. In ``Shogi skill judgment'', you are in charge of black or white and predict where the shogi player will hit next in the actual match. The correct answer is determined not by the single best move in a general situation, but by matching the move with the recorded game record. The content and operating system are said to be the same as ``Go Instruction'', but the publisher and title have changed.
