Go Servers
There are many places on the Internet where one can play go. On real-time go servers both players play at the same time just like on a real goban while Play by Email and turn-based go servers allow to play asynchronously (usually at a far slower pace). For most real-time go servers a go client is necessary.
It appears that favourites are KGS, IGS, and DGS; however, all of the following servers have different features to recommend them. Pick your favourite!
The descriptions of the go servers are intentionally kept short; please discuss at Go Server Discussion.
Go servers use most - but not all - rules of go. The rule sets used by servers are not identical with "official" rules.

Richard's PBeM Server - Quite good PBeM server, pretty easy to use. Supports different board sizes and 3- and 4-player games, but you have to count your score yourself. Hosts many other interesting games, too. Don't know about the level of play, however.
