Online Go serverswww.online-go.comHome of OGS, a turn-based/"correspondence" server. The expectation when playing on this site is of making
anywhere between one move every few days to a few moves a day --
games almost
never get completed in one sitting. If you wish to play Go in real time,
then your best bet is one of the next two. Signup is free, however, the site organisers welcome contributions.
www.gokgs.com/This site, linked to the Kiseido Go equipment company, offers live play against the clock with real opponents all over the world. For a small subscription, members can access KGS Plus, which allows participation in lectures and tournaments.
www.pandanet.co.jp/English/IGS PandaNet describes itself as " the world's leading forum for playing, watching,
studying, and enjoying the game of Go on the internet".
