Go

Playing go online

• The most famous go server is probably IGS. For more information, visit their multilingual website (Chinese, English, Korean and Japanese). You'll probably need to download a client that enables you to play, watch others play, chat, and lots more.
• The MSN Gaming Zone has a number of free games, including go. You'll need to register to get a password, the client will integrate with your browser (no special client needed, but you will need Internet Explorer).
