Online server where I can analyze my games with a friend

Post by tapia »

Hi, is there a online go server that allows two people to see the same board while analyzing and playing out different variations, and possibly to make special marks that are seen simultaneously by both players?

If there are chess players around, what I'm thinking of is something like ICC that allows you to examine a board and see everything the other person does live including arrows and circles and different variations.

Thanks in advance.

KGS. If you want it to me private then create a teaching game in a private room.
Still officially AGA 5d but I play so irregularly these days that I am probably only 3d or 4d over the board (but hopefully still 5d in terms of knowledge, theory and the ability to contribute).

Hey, thanks, Dr.

I tried installing the KGS client on my computer but my security settings won't allow it. And I went into the java control panel and tried adding KGS as an exception but the option wasn't available.

Someone posted earlier this week about how to get round that.

The best server for this that I know is OGS — Online Go Server

See the move nodes with coloured outlines? These are the ones with comments. Very practical.

Upload SGF files, download SGF files, LOTS of tools for review. Runs in any modern browser, no extra software (like JAVA) required. And YES, it probably isn’t quite there where KGS is with regard to reviewing, but at the current rate of updates in both places OGS will probably soon overtake KGS feature-wise.
