General discussions about gobans, etc., go here. If you're selling go equipment, it should go in the Trading Post.

1. You will first need to set the Go software that it came with to Chinese.
2. You will now see a new category that allows you to connect to third party Go server.
3. You can now download third party Go servers application, there are about six that I can download.
4. Pick a Go server, since I only tried Tygem I will only focus on Tygem setup
5. Now you need to register an account for Tygem,
#### To register for an Tygem China account you will need to have a phone number register in China
#### You could also sign in if you have a WeChat account (This is they way I signed in)
6. Now that you are signed in you can start playing games, you can invite/accept games with the touch screen interface.
7. Now how do you actually play? This is the trickiest part for me. After you start a game and when it is your turn to play you can press the connect button on your touch screen. You can then place your move, after you place a move you have to press the silver button to let the system know that you are confirming the move.

That's my experience of playing online. I think this feature is only meant for people who knows Chinese, I imagine it will be very hard for people who doesn't understand Chinese to even setup the connection. But once are you setup and know how to play a game then you don't need to know Chinese to play.

Hope this helps!

Thank you very much, tygem is good but it's hard to find alot of games because there aren't alot of people.

I just got my board, and was able to set up Tygem, but how did you set up Foxqw? I get the same screen as the one you posted, and seem to need a WeChat account to login. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Yeah it needs either a Wechat account or a QQ account. I would suggest you use the QQ account, although I encountered a problem with it. Izis' software says that the qq client hasnt been properly installed.and it didnt let me install it.

If you can fix this, then you're good to go.

The other alternative is verifying the wechat account.

Thanks. I'm in the US, so there doesn't seem to be a simple way to do either of these things.
