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
SGF 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.
