It's not realtime, it's more like play by mail. You can make a move every three days if you want.

For realtime, download cgoban2 and register on the server it connects to. PM me on here or msn if you want a game.

You can make a move as soon as you like on the Dragon server, depends on the game parameters.

I played a bit many years ago and was around 6kyu (which is kind of an impossible level, since most people who get below 10kyu very fast progress to around 1 kyu or better. I suppose my knowledge of the game is 10kyu but who due to my experience as a chess player (2 norms for international master) manage artificially to squeze my kyu level down to 6kyu. I am too busy to play anything these days, but I love playing games, and I played for the Danish Championship in "triatlon" (Chess, go and bridge) where my partner was Danish champion the year before, but we "only" got a third place mainly do to a bad break in the bridge turnement. Maybe I will have a few games og Go during the weekend.

Go is an incredible game. I wish life was longer!

You don't have time to play a move a day?

But, then a game would take a year. For me playing like that would be quite obsessive and I would end up spending hours of analysis each day!

But thanks for the offer. Maybe we could play a few 15min games during the weekend.
