Analysis features for Go programs won't sell as long as there are no programs
which actually have a decent understanding of the game. As far as keeping
records of one's own games is concerned, a tool like CGoban2 will suffice
completely, and database applications will probably be less useful to go-players
than to chess players, because rote memorization of tactical sequences (tesujis)
and strategic exchange sequences (joseki) or opening lines (fuseki) has a
significantly lower pay-off in go than in chess even if you are not high-rated.
