Re: My hand-crafted KataGo (+ AlphaGo Teach) self-play games


Game 85 (7 komi, NZ rules) is only our second game to feature a seki :) Black wins by four points, bringing our current tally to 22 black wins, 30 draws and 33 white wins. This game featured our most dramatic winrate change so far. After move 201, white’s winrate was 87 %. After move 245, black’s ...

Re: My hand-crafted KataGo (+ AlphaGo Teach) self-play games

Game 135 (NZ rules, 7 komi) begins with both players tenukiing from a high-approach-to-their-3-4-point joseki. White gains a local advantage in the top left from that, black in the bottom left. In the endgame, a dispute over the top side (starting with move 185) ends with both players getting more ...

Re: My hand-crafted KataGo (+ AlphaGo Teach) self-play games

In game 134 (7 komi, NZ rules), black and white each manage to kill about 20 of the other player's stones. But white's reduction of black's giant center moyo is just too much, and she wins by 10 points. https://online-go.com/review/1130305

Re: My hand-crafted KataGo (+ AlphaGo Teach) self-play games

Game 133 (7 komi, NZ rules) sees both players making massive territories. Black ties his top side moyo together to live in one group. It's a draw. https://online-go.com/review/1128041

Re: LifeIn19x19.com v2.0!

And when uploading an .sgf as an attachment, I think copying the link straight into the [/sgf-full] tags used to be enough to correctly insert the playable game file into the body of the post.

Now, I have to remove the part of the link below that says "mode=view&" for it to work as intended, rather ...

Re: My hand-crafted KataGo (+ AlphaGo Teach) self-play games


The first 16 moves of game 110 (7 komi, NZ rules) look remarkably human to me. Move 69 is a tesuji and a half. By move 129, black has three corners and a large center moyo, but white makes sabaki in there and reduces it to nothing. Move 142 results in beautiful local symmetry. The endgame sees ...

Re: My hand-crafted KataGo (+ AlphaGo Teach) self-play games


Game 58 (7 komi, NZ rules) in which black develops a huge center moyo is beautiful IMO. Notable moves: 57 - So cool. :) 182 - After playing this move, KataGo realized that white was winning by 2 points. Black casually wastes some ko threats and ends up losing by 4 points. https://online-go.com ...

Re: My hand-crafted KataGo (+ AlphaGo Teach) self-play games


Game 89 (7 komi, NZ rules) is our first game with four 3-3 invasions. Interestingly, moves 9 - 16 are identical with game 49, although move 9 was reached by a different move order. Game 89 ended as a draw, with black and white each having five living groups on the board. We almost got our first ...

Game 6 is our newest- you guys get the gist by now. How short can these games get? :) Hopeless for black at move 184. White seems to be up by 16 - 18 points. https://online-go.com/demo/view/450285

Re: My hand-crafted KataGo (+ AlphaGo Teach) self-play games


In game 120 (7 komi, NZ rules), by move 92, black and white have cooperated to build a fence in the middle of the board, and they stay true to this arrangement. Black ends up sacrificing 28 stones on the left side of the board while white sacrifices 12 stones on the right side. In the end, four ...

I seem to remember this editor being more square (with all lines the same width, regardless of characters) and hence easier to use:
