IgoLocal vs the tyranny of distance
If you are somewhere far, far away from a go club, and yet you want to find people to play with across an actual goban, then look at the IgoLocal site. The concept is: you tell it who and where you are, and it gives you a map with nearby players and groups of players, plus the tools to reach them and challenge them to a game. The author operates on the idea that there a lot more go players around than you’d think. Seems ideal for Australia, New Zealand, and the rest of Oceania. Go ahead and have a stickybeak.
