Use the following buttons to adjust the starting and ending points of diagrams. Adjusting the end point
of one diagram adjusts the starting point of the next diagram automatically, so it's easy to find the right
places to split the game. (Note that these buttons auto-repeat if you hold them down.)

Problems Toolbar
The Problems toolbar contains buttons to help you work through collections of problems. You try out
the move that you think will solve the problem, and SmartGo automatically replies, and keeps track of
how many problems you've solved correctly.
For this feature to work, you need a collection of properly set up problems. Many Faces of Go ships
with a collection of .prb files; open one of those, and SmartGo automatically enters problem solving
mode. SmartGo also works with problems provided with UliGo (see www.u-go.net/uligo). Or go to
www.goproblems.com and download more than a thousand problems from that site. Use File >
Open Folder 20 to combine the individual problems into a single file, then choose View > Problem
Solving to enter problem solving mode. Detail: Note that SmartGo doesn't compute the moves to play;
it only picks among the moves stored in the problem file.
Problem Solving Options: Click this button to turn problem solving mode on or off. Click on the
dropdown arrow to get the following menu:
