A good guess. The version of Kata-go I have suggests 3%.

update your config and change the engine to something like this:

"engine-command": "./KataGo/main.exe gtp -model ./KataGo/model.txt -config ./KataGo/configs/gtp_example.cfg -override-version 0.17",

Unclear exactly what ko threats he was afraid of, but seems he just wanted to kill the aji.

To eliminate the C19 ko?

I got this book recently and am impressed with the quality. Looking forward to the Shuei book!

I dont think that follows at all. You are making many implicit assumptions about the frequency and severity of misjudged ladders.

At move 36 you comment: "Don't like being pushed around like this. At least white got two groups. Thought about limiting at A, point building exchange at B and deeper invasion at C."

I'd love to know if it's possible to find these in Europe. I looked around some more and less popular outlets, but not much from Segoe is available.

Enjoy!

Looks great. Just ordered a copy

Anyone know some good problem books for reading practice? I am looking to practice problems where the reading depth is about 10 moves.

This may not be what you want to hear:

You have 3 black groups fully enclosed at move 67. Keep surrounding groups and you will watch it pay dividends. Once a group is fully surrounded it has no more impact on the rest of the game. This is a big deal. Meanwhile black feels the urgency to rush into ...

Oh, certainly true, that's why I asked though, is it relevant what point it started off from? Do all neural networks converge to that point? or are there artifacts of starting at a weaker level that are maintained?


My bet is there are many minima to get caught in. It would be very surprising ...

FWIW: Im at about 560 games and 5k. Also in my early 30's and started in 2013.

I have a foldable bamboo board. I bought it at the glowing stone in London Ontario.
