Description from the official website:
SGF is the abbreviation of 'Smart Game Format'. The file format is designed to store game records of board games for two players. It's a text only, tree based format. Therefore games stored in this format can easily be emailed, posted or processed with text-based tools. The main purposes of SGF are to store records of played games and to provide features for storing annotated and analyzed games (e.g. board markup, variations).

any other encoding is specified in an CA property, a warning is
raised. Pull requests to improve this situation are welcome. A
potential solution could be build on top of
StringEncodings.jl.
