Losing on Korean Servers

...3) KGS in me experience is the "softest server." I like it for sure, but the ranks tend to be more relaxed, the style, the people, etc.

Agree with most of your points, but this is probably true only up until strong sdk - in the dan ranges KGS tends to be more strict than Tygem and Cyberoro (not that it really means anything). I am probably 2d on KGS nowadays, but holds 4d Tygem fairly easily.

My experience of KGS and wbaduk has been that on kgs, players stake bold claims and hope it never occurs to their opponent to fight them for it, while on wbaduk what they want is poorly defined but they're going to fight you for it.

And tygem is like wbaduk but people only ever escape.

So it may be that you play thinner than you can handle?
