Most Go players have a home server. Pandanet for the community and pro tournaments. Fox for the biggest player pool in Asia. Tygem for fast-paced competition. WBaduk because that's where your friends play.
When it comes to reviewing your games with AI, none of that should matter. A good move is a good move, whether the game file ends in .sgf, .gib, or .ugf.
The Multi-Server Problem
The frustrating part: you play on one platform, but the best analysis tools might not support your file format. Or you play on multiple servers and now your games are scattered across different formats with no single place to review them.
Pandanet uses UGF and UGI files. Fox and most Western servers use SGF. Tygem saves games as GIB. WBaduk uses NGF. They're all just records of the same thing, a sequence of moves on a Go board, but the formats are different enough that most tools only support one or two.
One Tool for Everything
AI Sensei supports all of them:
- Pandanet (.ugf, .ugi): direct one-click integration from GoPanda2
- Fox (.sgf): upload your downloaded game files
- Tygem (.gib): upload your downloaded game files
- WBaduk (.ngf): same simple upload process
- OGS, KGS, and others (.sgf): the universal Go format
Upload the file, and AI Sensei handles the rest. The analysis is identical regardless of format: the same KataGo engine, the same depth, the same results.
The Pandanet Integration: Even Easier
If you play on Pandanet, you don't even need to download a file. The GoPanda2 client has a built-in button that uploads your game directly to AI Sensei after you finish playing. One click, and your game is being analyzed.
You can also log into AI Sensei with your Pandanet credentials. No need to create a separate account.
AI Sensei and Pandanet have been partners since 2022. The integration was built to be smooth. Finish your game, click the button, grab a coffee, and your review is ready.
For Fox, Tygem, and WBaduk Players
If you play on Fox, Tygem, or WBaduk, the process is almost as simple. After your game:
- Download your game file from the server (Fox saves .sgf files, Tygem saves .gib, WBaduk saves .ngf)
- Upload to AI Sensei at ai-sensei.com
- Review in minutes. The AI analyzes your game and highlights your key mistakes.
That's it. No format conversion, no special tools needed. AI Sensei reads the file natively.
For players who use multiple servers, this is especially useful. All your games, regardless of where they were played, end up in one place with consistent analysis. Your Pandanet evening league game sits next to your Fox ranked match and your Tygem blitz session, all reviewed with the same AI.
Why This Matters for Improvement
Having all your games in one place helps your development. You can spot patterns across different time controls and opponents. Maybe you play solid on Pandanet's longer time settings but fall apart in Fox or Tygem blitz. Maybe your WBaduk games reveal a weakness in a specific opening.
One review tool across all your games means one complete picture of your strengths and weaknesses.
Works on Any Device
Since AI Sensei runs in your browser, you can upload and review from anywhere. Upload a game from your phone right after a tournament round, or review last night's Tygem games on your tablet over breakfast.
No software to install. No GPU required. The heavy computation happens in the cloud. You just need a browser and your game file.
Getting Started
Pandanet players: Look for the AI Sensei button in GoPanda2 after your next game. One click and you're done.
Fox / Tygem / WBaduk players: Grab your latest game file and upload it at ai-sensei.com. All features are free. The AI's positional judgement is superhuman, though it may occasionally misread complex tactical positions.
Everyone else: If you have an SGF file, you're good to go. OGS, KGS, any server that exports SGF works.
Whichever server is home, the analysis is the same. Upload your game and find out where the real turning points were.
AI Sensei supports SGF, GIB, NGF, and UGF/UGI files. All features free at ai-sensei.com. Pandanet integration live since 2022.
