The author intentionally broke with the tradition of labeling moves (and points) with letters “A”-“T” (excluding “i”) and numbers 1-19. Two lower-case letters in the range “a”-“s” were used instead, for reasons of simplicity and compactness.
(Wikipedia Article on SGF)
Also a forums discussion: OGS 19x19 boards marked A-T? Why is " i " missing? - it’s funny, the poster of that topic was also programming a Go application!

Oh thanks for the reference! I forgot to check the forum first to see if any posted something similar before and didn’t know it actually has formal documentation.
