Some features
- DGS offers a "proper komi feature" with fine-tuned komi intervals to balance even minor rating differences to provide a 50-50 chance for both players.
- hidden comments can be inserted during the game, for post-mortem analysis (where they become readable by everybody).
DGS "add-ons"
Apps:
- Dragon Notifier (Windows) is an open-source tray bar utility that notifies you when it is your turn to move in a DGS game. A list of games is displayed from which you can either get the corresponding sgf file or jump to the equivalent dragon page.
-
Dragon Go Server Turn Monitor (Any OS with Java) notifies you when it is your turn to move in a DGS game. DGSTM runs on all platforms the support Java. The windows version of DGSTM places an icon in the system tray that shows your current DGS game status.
-
Dragon Probe: (Unix with KDE) Seeing the handy URL used by the above app, I've written a Kicker applet to that watches DGS for you, too. --Neil
-
Dragon Watch (Unix with Gnome) is a GNOME panel applet that does the same job.
-
dgsmon (Unix command line / Gkrellm FMonitor) does the same, with command line output. Also integrates easily with Gkrellm.
Browser addons:
- see /GreaseMonkey
HTML files:
- to track your favorite user's performance, download frs's HTML page:
http://home.snafu.de/frs/go-rating-dgs-users.html and edit the names.

Peter Nicell has very simple way to create a HTML page that periodically refreshes a DGS page.
TDerz All of this is very impressive. The snafu-link allows us to verify the club rating (also it's not in the club). A slight improvement of Peter Nicell's way by Stéphane Macaire: "./" before dgsr.html (DragonGoServer auto-refresh) refers to the same folder, hence no address change is necessary and 10 seconds refreshment rate were to short on our computer at work (tried here with 3 minutes):
<HTML> <HEAD> <meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="180; url=./dgsr.htm"> <title>Dragon Go Server auto refresh</title> </HEAD>
<frameset cols="*,1" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="NO"> <frameset rows="*,1" framespacing="0" border="0" frameborder="NO"> <frame src="http://www.dragongoserver.net/status.php" name="main"> </frameset> </frameset>
<noframes> <body> Sorry your browser does not support frames... </body> </noframes>
</HTML>
However, this refreshment page stops refreshing after some time (90 seconds): "The page cannot be displayed" perhaps due to Network Settings.
- (Firefox 1.5+:) To remove the status box: (thx Rod) Use the userContent.css (you can find infos at
http://www.mozilla.org/support/firefox/edit#content) with those lines:
@-moz-document url(http://www.dragongoserver.net/status.php) { #user_status { display: none !important; } }
