Tygem is a Korean Go server.

English client available

For Tygem, there is now a English client available, namely Tygem Baduk. Since each Tygem client connects to the same server, you will be able to view and play the same games as you would with the Korean client. The client has a native iPad app and currently a Korean only Android app.

Server Rules & Features

  • Japanese Counting is used for all games, with 6.5 Komi for white.
  • ByoYomi is used for the time system.
  • Escape Policy: If a player disconnects during a ranked game, he/she has 5 minutes to reconnect, or will automatically lose the game. Disconnecting more than 5 times will also result in a loss.
  • Before playing a game, players can agree on using a 'score estimator' and 'undo'. By default 'undo' is not possible, and 'score estimator' is used.
  • Unlike KGS, game settings are agreed upon after agreeing on playing, such as time setting.

Time Settings

Though custom ByoYomi setting are possible, the following are the defaults and frequently used:

  • Fast: 10 minutes, 3x 30 seconds ByoYomi
  • Normal: 20 minutes, 3x 30 seconds ByoYomi
  • Long: 60 minutes, 3x 30 seconds ByoYomi

Rank Comparison

Since both Tygem and KGS are subject to rank shifts and trends, comparing ranks is difficult or maybe impossible.

Most discussion on the internet agree on that a 9d on Tygem could be anything between 7-8 dan KGS and 9 dan professional player.
