Click on the bar (which shows the current "rating" of the link) to rate the concerning link (this currently requires JavaScript to be enabled). The rating is computed from an initial rating and the ratings issued by visitors of the site via a mysterious and secret formula I came up with, and nothing is said as to what it actually represents (since I do not know myself).

KGS
	The K Go Server, written by Bill Shubert, comes with a variety of features which are not available on the telnet-based servers. Discussing games with other players is made very convenient.
Dragon Go Server
	On DGS you can play turn-based Go games. It functions more or less the same way as playing via email would, thus the games will take a few weeks. DGS has 4,500+ users, spanning from 30 kyu up to 4 dan. Only a web browser is required, no need to install additional software. DGS is open source, free of charge, and has no negative side effects like advertisments, spam, etc.
Internet Go Server
	The Internet Go Server (IGS) was the first go server, and is still one of the biggest. Quite a number of professionals frequent IGS, and play there (mostly with anonymous accounts). Many of the Japanese title matches are broadcast on IGS. The web site contains information on the server and an art gallery which is well worth seeing.

Little Golem
