How to get a review

Getting your own game reviewed is very easy.
Just follow the 4 steps below.

Step 1: Get the SGF file

Get the SGF file of the game you've played.
See 'help mail' and 'help sgf' on the go servers.
Don't send easy wins or fast games (at least 20 minutes per person)!!
Have a look at "Which games should be submitted for review?"

Step 2: Go over the game yourself

Go over the game yourself and add questions or comments.
These comments can serve as a guideline for the reviewer.
Furthermore the reviewer can concentrate on those aspects or moves that are of most interest to you.

Step 3: Submit the SGF file

Either submit the SGF file using our web form (preferred) or send this SGF file to gtl@xmp.net. We will then forward your game to a proper reviewer. If you use email, please don't forget to tell us your rank and if you played black or white.
Alternatively you can select a reviewer on your own. Please have a look at the guidelines and let our program suggest a reviewer for you.

Step 4: Wait

You should receive your review within two weeks.
Don't forget to thank the reviewer for the review. Not doing so is extremely impolite.
You may want to ask some questions about the review too.

That's all. Easy, isn't it?
