Online Go

Schools Internet Go

For some time there have been several schools interested in playing Go on the Internet. However, they couldn't do it because the way their school networks were set up stopped them using Go servers like IGS and KGS.

Now Alex Selby has written a web-based go server, which you can get to from this Go Server Page. You might have heard some people call this server SIG, which stands for Schools Internet Goserver.

All the schools which have tried to use this server so far have been able to use it.

Please have a look at the server. If you want to try playing on it, but don't find anyone there when you look, please e-mail Paul Smith and we will arrange something for you.

Schools Go League

This is a new competition for the school year 2005/6. Matches are being played online using the SIG Go server.

The first match was played at the end of 2005 between the Norwich School and King Edward VI School, Aston. The Norwich School won by 4 games to 2.

There is still time for more schools to enter the league. For more information, please contact the organiser Mike Lynn.

Online Grand Prix

We are planning to set up an online youth grand prix on the PlayOK games server. More information will appear here soon. In the meantime we are organising some informal tournaments on PlayOK. These can be found in the list of private tournaments in the Go section of PlayOK, organised by timetraveller or omweso. They are usually early on Monday evenings.
