Life In 19x19

Due to a wide range of other communication platforms it's been a while since my last update here.

Most important updates:

- support for dark mode
- support for handicap in reviews
- support for smaller board sizes in reviews
- a new connection wizard to make everything more ...

I love Amazon Fire HD tablets, and they are very affordable.

I wasn't able to buy them from Amazon directly, (they don't ship to my country).
but I bought 2 of them through ebay.

I am really surprised to hear that, having tested it from time to time on an Amazon Fire Hd tablet.
It runs especially well, when it's in landscape mode. (see also: https://twitter.com/zbaduk/status/1243343987395698689 )

To be honest, I only tested iPad with safari using a simulator.
It looked and ...

Keep it simple.
People don't visit a website to admire the authentication.

I made that mistake myself a couple of times. (and I keep telling myself to forget about the authentication)
It's statements like " you can only make 1 first impression " and "it has to be perfect",
that subconsiously pushes ...

I have an iPad Pro 2020 now. Unfortunately I cannot continue to play at KGS, but I'll use the Tygem App which should work. But I also want to use Lizzie and the newest LZ network to analyze games. Is it possible and are there some obstacles to install everything?

ZBaduk ? :-)

*spoiler: I'm ...

@Maharani,
Right now, it's just the latest.

I use an API to query the list of networks. And I wasn't really sure how to determine which one's the "strongest confidently rated" network.
If I would have to make an educated guess, it would be the latest network with "log_gamma_uncertainty" < 0.05 ...

Yesterday, we had an unexpected issue which took down our services.
While we were updating our software and moving it to the other platform,
I added the long expected KataGo-network-update feature.

(@Maharani)
So, actually, from now on the KataGo network should always be up-to-date.
The network ...

Sorry, but I'm not entirely sure to what you are refering to be honest.
Here below I will give you as much information as I can, hoping to answer your question indirectly.

Game reviews always make calculations for both players. Both players are equal for them.
You can see the names ...

PS: there's actually an issue with our loadbalancer right now.
I'm on it. You can expect a fix ASAP.

Update: done.
It turns out that the webost for the leela zero networks is down right now.
ZBaduk always tries to download the latest version from that website.
So, I fixed it now by installing a ...

Sorry for the silence lately. I know, it's been a while.

First of all, for Chinese and Spanish visitors, we're working on language support for you guys. There's a test version running of our front-end on https://www.zbaduk.com/next which hosts these languages. The database is the same. It's just a ...

I think it's just all about creating awareness, reminding and collecting data,
all of course with the conscent of the user.

We need more awareness about the fact that cheating can be a crime. (AGA ? EGF ? KABA ?)

People need to be constantly reminded, that SGF files are stored, and can reveal ...

I just installed a release, which contains small tweaks and improvements.

First of all, as many people asked. There should be a way to select default rules and connection settings.


- Would it be possible to have connection defaults? For example, I always use KataGo, never Leela Zero, and always ...

Should be fixed now.
(Also 0 komi with japanese rules works fine now.)

PS: On a totally unrelated note: there was an issue with bot-games sometimes not being saved automatically.
--> also that issue should be fixed now.

Thank you for the answer, but when I do this black starts with 45%. So I don't understand. Sorry
The cause of the problem has been found, a fix is coming up within the next 24 hours.

As mentioned in one of my other recent posts, there is also a major update coming which replaces all charts ...

Sometimes a low playout high winrate move gets picked (N11 in this case) instead of the good move (L18).
You do have a point. And just for clarity, I do think KataGo would actually be playing that move if it had to make one, even though it has a low amount of playouts.

Afaik, by default KataGo ...
