It's not an error, it's a choice made by lightvector to generate more diversity in handicap games: the handicap stones are placed "randomly".

See above my post and the "next steps" : I'm releasing it in the coming weeks, I'm currently generating some more selfplay and will do some more training tests before releasing the best network ; -).

it would be very interesting if you could train a 51x51 or 37x37 network from scratch!!! maybe 10 blocks? There may be very unexpected results.

Hi
I'm happy to annonce the Large Board network is now available, please enjoy !
https://katagotraining.org/extra_networks/

If you want to generate a game above 25x25, Sabaki and several other GUI don't work, But you can either use the katago match option, or Q5Go also works up to 50x50 at least (but unfortunately not on rectangular boards such as 50x9 : -).
You can download it here: https://github.com/bernds/q5Go

when choosing the size, choose rectangular board (q5go-2.1.3-win)

Friday9i,

the appearance of specially trained networks on large boards is an amazing event! many people now consider this frivolous. but time will pass, and it will be appreciated! thank you!!!
