Bakaban is a free Windows program, which allows you to play Go on a variety of surfaces other than standard Go boards.
It has a limited understanding of the rules of play. It automatically removes strings that have no liberties, but it does not know about the ko rule, and it does not allow suicide. It is intended merely to support the various board conformations, and to allow users to play on them. Its purpose is to support play on a variety of topologies.
