How do you like Tygem?

[SpongeBob]

I am amazed about how there is virtually no lag when playing. Together with the voiced byo-yomi countdown it is a really nice experience to play.

On KGS, there is lots of lagging. In byo-yomi, you constantly wonder: will he accept my move in time or might I lose on time ...

Yesterday I managed to find a couple of hours to play some games on tygem for the first time. I registered as 4k but I found 3-4k players a lot weaker than those on KGS. They are certainly much more aggressive but leave a lot of weaknesses behind. The challenge is exploiting them for hunting the hunter. Similar style to that of wbaduk but very much different from KGS.

Interesting. I'm 4k on KGS and seem to waver between 10k and 7k on Tygem.

My winning/losing streak also seems to depend on whether I use the Automatch function, or I answer someone else's request.

When I use the automatch function, the players often turn up to be much stronger in my experience.
It feels like the sandbaggers are waiting in ambush for someone to offer them a game and then... KABOUM!

... or maybe I'm simply imagining the whole thing

I don't know, I see that I sent that post almost a year ago and I play very very rarely recently. Maybe I got a wrong impression based on few games.
