Smart Game Format

The Smart Game Format, or SGF, is a computer file format used for storing records of board games including:

• Go
• Lines of Action
• Backgammon
• Hex
• Amazons
• Octi[?]
• Gess[?]

It uses a tree-based representation of the game to store information; the tree structure makes the addition of variations[?] simple. It is also text-based instead of binary for the sake of portability.
