Life In 19x19

Note that Epub3 support is required. Unfortunately many programs do not support Epub3 or only very rudimentary.

I use Lithium. It shows the diagrams and is good for reading texts, but has a flaw when l interactive diagrams, because it toggles header and footer lines in and out each time you press a button. If you don't use interactive diagrams, is a good choice.

Unfortunately there is no information if a GPU is supported, only CPU requirements are mentioned.

I let play Zenith Go 7 against Leela 0.11.0 GPU with 120sec per move. 4 games, 3 won by Zen.

The assumption was that the longer thinking makes the advantage of the GPU more obvious, but even than Zen played very well (except for one game where it played odd moves). Leela has blind spots and a ...

Edit:
Some games later:

Here are some more games of Zenith 7, this time against Zenith 6.
It seems that the 7d level is a little bit slower in Zenith 7, but also stronger (at least against Zenith 6 with level 7d).
On my machine Zenith 7 mostly used 3 or 4 seconds per move, in rare cases up to 6 seconds.

Thank you for the explanation, yoyoma. Than the result sounds reasonable.
It is interesting that the NN still has no sense of life and death.
But it tries to keep stones together – at least it places stones near to other friendly stones.

I saw in the Git repository that an option was added to keep SGF files, but currently it is not released as a binary.

Because I had connection problems, I could copy a SGF file before it was deleted. The game is some hours old. Don't expect too much:

Didn’t you say your hardware is to weak for AQ? Why?
I planed to play some test games between Zenith and AQ, but my 1080 is weaker than your 1080TI.

Nevertheless I don’t like AQ’s style I think. It played a lot of useless ataris in the two games I played against it. At least I lost my interest in ...

Here are some more games.

I cannot remember Zenith 6 won even a single game against Crazy Stone FE on my PC, but Zenith 7 does.

I think there is no setting for seconds per move in Leela? Unfortunately there is no setting in the GUI, but it can be set in the text UI using GTP commands. “time_settings 0 30 1” sets 0 seconds main time, 30 seconds byoyomi time for 1 stone. It’s annoying to play in the text UI, I did it only for ...

Leela 0.11.0 GPU (no ponder, 8 threads, book enabled) – Zenith Go 7
0 : 1
Intel i7-7700K@4.2GHz
NVIDIA GTX 1080

Both engines had 30s per move. Zen used 17s on average (Zenith Go 6 uses only half of its time too).

At some point both engines thought black is better, but than things become bad for ...
