Smart Game Format

Smart Game Format (SGF) is a text-based format for recording games of certain board games, particularly Go.

It was originally developed by Anders Kierulf in 1987 (though one source gives a release date of 1990).

It has had one or more other names, probably including Smart Go Format. More research is needed here.
