== Places to play ==

* http://www.kurnik.pl (http://www.kurnik.org - English version) — [[kurnik]], a Polish real time play-site. Nowadays the most active hex site online, and a good way to learn the basics quickly. Apart from three difficulty levels, it is also possible to play official and private tournaments. Lately new language versions have been added (with 9 languages to choose from)

* http://www.littlegolem.net — [[Little Golem]], one of the best turn-based servers on the net. On Little Golem one may find many strong players, the atmosphere is kind and welcoming. The [http://www.littlegolem.net/jsp/forum/forum.jsp?forum=50 Hex forum] often contain interesting discussions.

* http://www.gamerz.net/pbmserv — a play-by-email site for many games, including [[Hex]] (details at http://www.gamerz.net/pbmserv/hex.html). Default size is 11 × 11, but others are available.

* http://www.math.lsu.edu/~wamelen/gamerz.php is a site where you can play pbmserv's games on graphical boards without sending emails. All you need to do is to log in (username and password are the same as on pbmserv).

* http://www.ludoteka.com — a Spanish real time server. Offers Hex on 11 × 11 in addition to many other games. Available in Spanish, Basque, English and French. Not many Hex players there.

* http://www.playsite.com — used to be the most popular play-site to play Hex in real time online. There is a possibility to untime the game, however there is a hidden clock and one has 10 minutes to make a move. Nowadays its hard to find anyone to play there though.

== Hex guides ==

* http://remus.rutgers.edu/~rhoads/Fun/fun.html#games — Glenn Rhoads' three guides to playing Hex. According to himself, his homepage was due to disappear during the summer of 2004, but it is still there. At the moment of writing the guides the most comprehensive guide to hex on the 'net. They have been transferred here, as the [[Basic (strategy guide)|Basic]], [[Intermediate (strategy guide)|Intermediate]] and [[Advanced (strategy guide)|Advanced]] pages of the [[Strategy]] page, with Mr Rhoads' kind permission.

* http://www.cs.ualberta.ca/~javhar/hex — Jack van Rijswijck's introduction to Hex

* http://www.nada.kth.se/~rydh/Hex/strategy.html — covers some basic advanced Hex strategy.

== Computer programs ==

* Utilities:
** http://canyon23.net/jgame/ — Jhex, a program to record games and variations. Comes with a modest-sized database too.
** http://www.nada.kth.se/~rydh/Hex/hexAnalyzer.html — HexAnalyzer is a Java program to analyze positions.
* Computer players:
** http://games.cs.ualberta.ca/webgames/hex/ — QueenBee, one of the stronger artificial players.
** http://six.retes.hu/ — Six, the most recent computer champ. This one is KDE-based ([http://www.kde.org KDE] is a Linux desktop environment), but is open-source, so one could port it to other environments.
** http://home.earthlink.net/~vanshel/ — Hexy, a strong computer player; Windows-based; downloadable.
