* Online Go Server - https://online-go.com/ - my personal favorite place to play online (other servers are not Linux-friendly or their software is awful)
There's been a lot of progress getting computers to play Go over the last few years, and it's only about 2 years since we've had a computer capable of beating professionals (Alpha Go). Nowadays you can run a better-than-all-pros program on your desktop if you have a decent GPU. Check out https://github.com/featurecat/lizzie for a frontend to Leela Zero, the underlying Go playing program.
Online-go.com is, for anyone that played go online before its inception, a breath of fresh air. There’s really no way to overstate how it’s changed the experience of online play.
