\section{Motivation}

The following package offers a collection of macros designed to represent Go boards and positions, fully implemented in \pgfname. This project, although still in development, incorporates innovative features aimed at simplifying and streamlining the creation of diagrams related to the game of Go:
\begin{itemize}
	\item Profile management for boards and players.
	\item Loading multiple coordinates simultaneously using a syntax that some may find familiar.
\end{itemize}

The development of \pgfgoname\ arose from the frustration of not finding packages that met my needs. The packages I explored allow the representation of black-and-white boards, suitable for printing, but impractical when combined with technologies such as |beamer| or in documents where a color presentation is desired.

Initially, \pgfgoname\ was intended to be limited to these tasks; however, I now conceive it more as an interface for managing styles and states, avoiding excessive use of direct formatting. This will mainly be reflected in the structure of the \emph{keys} tree.

Regarding the name, although the macros are implemented in \pgfname\ and L3, the board is built on |\tikzpicture| so that users familiar with this environment can take advantage of its macros.
