Preface

This set of guidelines is intended to address some general go etiquette as well as the special issues that arise from playing on the Internet Go Server, aka IGS. This file originated in the hands of Ken Warkentyne, who did a great job on it, but since he all but disappeared for a while, I picked up an older version and edited it, and here we are.

Most of the contents were originally derived from discussions that have taken place on the Internet News newsgroup rec.games.go, and I wish to thank all the people who participated in those discussions, as well as the IGS people for providing such a wonderful facility. Special thanks go to Evan Behre, who did the enormous, tedious and no doubt dull job of proofreading this document in record time.

Players new to go are strongly recommended to read the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) periodical posting, posted into newsgroup rec.games.go by Adrian Mariano, the IGS specific FAQ likewise posted periodically by Rob Skrobola, and to look at some introductory material such as RULE.PS or RULES.SGF. All these files (and many many more) are available via anonymous ftp from bsdserver.ucsf.edu.

Toute correction ou suggestion pour améliorer ce document est le bienvenue.
