KGS FAQ

The best FAQ source is http://kgsfaq.free.fr/index.php?lang=en. Eventually the information there will be transferred to these pages. The index below is the FAQ so far.

• What do I do with escapers? (An escaper is somebody who leaves a game when they are losing.)
• Something is broken! How do I fix it? (Troubleshooting.)

If you are a tournament organiser wanting your relayed games evented on KGS please contact the Admins directly by email to find out how this can be achieved.

To write the time of an event in a room using the special GMT tags you should write in the format xgmtxyyyy-mm-dd hh:mmx/gmtx replacing the x with greater than and less than signs. In order: yyyy is the year, mm the month, dd the day, hh the hours and mm the minutes.

Soon there will be a special tournament on KGS
