Tygem for english users

[dedroid]

it won't install on my windows vista 64bit , any help?

[Mivo]

In Firefox I didn't actually see the download link. I had turned off NoScript and Adblock+ for the site, and still no go. It did work in IE, however. 64-bit Windows 7 works without needing to use compatibility mode.

Worked well for me (win7 32bits, chrome as a browser). I managed to play my first game yesterday, registering at my kgs rank -2 (4k instead of 2k). The game was close, so this should be a decent guess.

Pretty cool!

[dedroid]

got it, i had to update my OS before it would work.

[ketchup]

Amazing news. Thanks for the link. Signed up and works for me.

how strong is it approx? I signed up as 5d, played one game and won by 8,5. is it stronger or weaker than KGS? also, is 9d the highest possible rank?

[hyperpape]

My understanding is that becoming Tygem 9d may actually be slightly easier than on KGS (I think either Artem or Roln made 9d there), but that there's a vast pool of very strong 9dans that dwarfs KGS. No idea about the mid-dans.

[Kirby]

Just play there to figure out your rank. You cannot easily compare ranks to KGS since the systems are different. KGS has more of a weighted system than Tygem, so you cannot draw many conclusions about the rank of an arbitrary individual.

When the underlying models are different, it's hard to compare any two data points between models.

FOR WINE USERS:

Executing TygemGlobalSetup.exe created the c:/Programas/TygemGlobal folder with InstallTygem.exe in it. It was supposed to run it, but an error of missing dll ocurred.
I downloaded mfc42.dll from here:
http://www.dlldump.com/download-dll-fil ... nload.html
and copied it to c:/windows/system and then I was able to run InstallTygem.

It just installed and the login screen appeared, I'll see if I can register and play tomorrow, I hope this helps.


PS: The c:/etc is located under ~/.wine/, in case you didn't find it.
PS2: Apparently there are 2 mfc42.dll versions, one from win98 and the other from win2000. You need the last one, which can be found in the link I provided; in case you search for it somewhere else, keep this in mind because it might not work with the one you download.. I only got it right the third time.

This works great for me on wine 1.3.15 Thanks for the tip!

I won my first game bet last night.

Wow, I was so surprised by how betting a small amount of make-believe money could bring my emotions into a game that I was *watching* (not playing). It was a seven Dan amateur match, so many moves were over my head. But I kept reading out anything I possibly could. All the time thinking, "okay, how is white going to win this one?"

They say that emotional response can trigger strong memories of an event... Maybe I'll learn a trick or two.

[lorill]

And what do you plan to do with all your betting money ?

pc with win7 64bit: i could install and run (well, had to install flash player for IE) the program without problems. i can play and bet without problem - i found no bugs so far.

laptop with win vista 32 bit: i could install the program without problems. but i get http 406 errors everywhere - does anyone know how to get rid of that error?

It's a nice app, but it's quite remarkable that it requires a patch every single day.

[Kirby]

I would presume that patches get less frequent as the software matures. The Korean client, for example, only has patches periodically.
