online-go.com VS listudy

OGS is the closest thing I’ve found to lichess but it’s quite good! https://online-go.com/

That's nuts. I'll be honest online-go.com is my least favorite server to play on. Unfortunately it's one of the only ones that doesn't require software installation so it's easy to recommend to new players.

In 2016, I thought I'd give up on playing Go, seeing that our tree searching overlords beat us in every which way. Funny thing is, I'm playing a game right now [1].

Hey guys, I own Gomoku.com domain and the site (currently down) very similar to https://online-go.com/ I no longer have the time to maintain or try to grow it, if anyone is interested taking it over let me know!

and also, https://online-go.com (OGS) is the best English server for playing online and getting a rank.

https://online-go.com/ is the most popular English server, called OGS. It's pretty good.

OGS (https://online-go.com)

OGS is open source, anyone can contribute to their github repository and it's in need of developers - almost 200 open issues. It's likely easier to gain traction and more beneficial to the go community compared to starting from scratch.

OGS probably has the largest pool of English-speaking beginners. https://online-go.com/ It's a web app, so it's very easy to get signed up and playing.

Also, I'd suggest trying to switch to human players pretty soon (online-go.com is the place to be for that), AIs and weak AIs will play with a lot of strange and bad moves, and playing against too many of them might give you bad habits.

It comes with experience. There is a website called listudy.org that has a section called “Blind Tactics” that might help with visualization.

Listudy: Memorise openings with spaced repetition. Chess Endgame Training Chessercise: Practice chess with YouTube. Chess Madra: Build and practise an opening repertoire. Aimchess: Learn your strengths and weaknesses.

If you are trying to practice a certain opening, I would highly recommend listudy.org just to build that spaced repetition in your head.

I find https://listudy.org very useful for drilling lines. I don't see it mentioned often, but it allows you to import any lichess study (selfmade or other) into it and it'll pick a random line that's up to you to correctly play out until the end. Works very well if you do it enough

I use private Lichess Studies to store/build my repertoire. Start "choosing" your preferred responses to various opening moves and store them there. Start 1 move deep at a time and branch out slowly. At low level of play it's actually better to go just a few moves deep and have some canned responses to common bad moves from your opponents. You can import your lichess study into listudy.org which turns your saved opening prep into spaced repetition exercises to practice.

Second, you can check out https://listudy.org which can do this with lichess studies.
