tks... havent noticed it... I did now my first two testgames on 6th and 7th December against a 4kyu (LKGS).

1st I lost as whtie (b+21.5) because my attack on black's bottom right corner failed...


2nd I won (b+resign)... white's top left corner didnt survive and the centre oriented style worked


Its a young GO server and if the Go community around the globe has the patiency to wait till some essentials are programmed further on, e.g. reviews and a fully English translation of the menus, then LKGS might have a future.

Java free and browser based GO servers are something many are waiting for so I see it. They have a future, e.g. seeing the problems with KGS registration because of Java security issues. The concurrence OGS is an American Go server (the both developers/owners are US guys) which has some specific issues in positive and negative.

Lets see how Asian/Chinese brain power can bring this new project forward...
