Re: Pachi 12 for Windows


By default Pachi uses KataGo as joseki engine to fix some joseki sequences it plays badly otherwise (typically either newer josekis that appeared after the dcnn was trained, or josekis that are too tricky for it to handle correctly). If one of these is encountered during a game it calls KataGo to ...

Re: LifeIn19x19.com v2.0!


There is no diagram in that post, just the word "go" in (square) brackets, like this . I imagine an admin could change this to parenthesis but probably there has been some change to the BBCode interpretation.

Re: LifeIn19x19.com v2.0!

Hello,

I noticed what seems to be a bug. Here is the post: https://www.lifein19x19.com/viewtopic.php?t=19156

Clicking on the diagram link at the bottom of the first post gives me some php errors:

Re: Pachi 12 for Windows

So, I checked a bit more during L19's break, and if my understanding is correct, Pachi now uses Katago's to get the "policy network values" from a board position, and use that as a starting point for MonteCarlo evaluation. Is that correct?

Re: Pachi 12 for Windows

Hello!

Checking in on Pachi for one of my new Go project:

Pachi 12.86 pre-release is out:

Could you expand on what is exactly the KataGo CPU build? how is it different with the former Pachi? how is this different with KataGo? will there be two branches of Pachi in the future ...

Re: Sensetime's Senserobot review

Hello,

It will take me mnay hours to look over all of your clips.
Don't worry, I don't think the total video time exceed 15mn

EDIT: Seems the links to your clips cannot be resolved by my service provider.
This one is strange. You can try directly using the IP address then: http://103.102.44 ...

Sensetime's Senserobot review

Hello,

The Chinese company Sensetime has started selling a Go robot, Senserobot last year. I don't think it is available outside of China and I don't see many information available on this product, beside from the Sensetime itself (like no review or unboxing on Youtube in English).

I happen to ...

Re: Extending SGF?

I like to proposal of spook, I think JSON is a good fit for this job.

So, it should be very flexible. Very good point. We have no ...

Re: Review: Rational Endgame

Are you aware of the not so innocent origins of the 'like' button? Interesting read! And somewhat ironic :) I did not know this "like" button had been invented by Facebook.

But from the article, the origin of the "like" seems to really be innocent in fact, with unanticipated effect that became ...

Thanks a lot!

Also, be sure to try Lizzie as well, which is quite similar to Go Review Partner, but more interactive, it's a cool project as well :)
