Services for game analysis

There are some services in the net, which help one play out different variations, analyze the games and share game records.

  • HexWorld has an interactive board that can be shared as a link. It has all board sizes up to 31.
  • AHex is a service for analyzing games, including variations. See the extensive help page for more info. Little Golem provides a link to analyze games using this service.
