The Go Assistant provides strong tools for publishing documents both on the web and in documents which support the OLE standard. Complete on-line books are just a simple editing process away from being a reality. These books give the reader the same look and feel of the standard paper Go book, but also include the feature of reviewing the Go moves directly in the book (the reader simply double clicks on the diagram and a row of buttons appears allowing the reader to move through the diagram.) Web sites can include diagrams such as the ones shown on this site.

Diagrams can be generated with markers as demonstrated in the first diagram. Using stored games and variations, simple board diagrams are quickly generated with the Go Assistant and descriptive game anaylsis can be shared with other Go enthusiasts throughout the Internet.

The first diagram represents the taisha joseki as played by Yoshio Ishida (W) and Hoshino Toshi (B) in the qualifying round of the 1971 Honinbo. Toshi played at b allowing Ishida to take sente from the exchange. The second diagram shows a plausible variation in which black maintains sente by taking white's eye space.

In the actual game, Toshi played at b in the first diagram and Ishida made simple life in sente. Perhaps Toshi had no chance of recovering from this mistake.
