Game programs for boards more than 19x19

[Dragon]

KataGo has become much better at playing on board 37x37! lightvector, maybe you will make a bs37 version?

Support games with board size bigger than 25

[And]

three years ago, a version of katago appeared for boards up to 29x29. during this time, katago began to play much stronger and better. compare - the game 40b s299 on the board 29x29, 37x37 and 18b on the board 37x37 (the network plays against the same, playouts=3, chinese). 18b on 37x37 plays no worse than 40b on 29x29!

where did the formula 7+n(n+1) come from? (7 9 13 19 27 37 49 63 79 97 117)

Interesting. It does seem to work fairly well.

I've always liked:

Code: Select all

nextSize = ceiling(currentSize*sqrt(2))

Conceptually, this means that the next board size has at least twice as many squares as the current one. The sequence would be (4 6 9 13 19 27 39 56 80 114)

Or, if you want to ensure odd board sizes, use:

Code: Select all

nextSize = roundToNearestOddInteger(currentSize*sqrt(2))

Conceptually, this means that the next board size is forced to be odd and has roughly twice as many squares as the current one. This sequence would be (5 7 9 13 19 27 39 55 77 109). The Excel code for this is something like =ROUND((previousCell*SQRT(2)-1)/2, 0)*2+1.

[And]

this formula (7+n(n+1)) can be explained as follows: we increase the size of the board 7 by 1 (in all directions) - we get 9, +2=13, +3=19, +4=27, +5=37, +6=49... but why is it so and not otherwise? that is, what is the point of this from the point of view of the game?

[And]

please, who can do this, make the katago version eigenavx2-windows-x64+bs37. I spent a lot of time and unsuccessfully!
(it is possible in pm)

can someone do it for a reward?

interestingly, katrain versions 1.3.1 - 1.3.3 additionally had a katago-bs52 exe-file

18B networks of course does not support
