Game programs for boards more than 19x19

[PC_Screen]

Seems to work now, try this link https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VlRD3i ... sp=sharing. I had compiled the katago.exe correctly but I forgot to replace the old one in the folder

it works! and at first glance, the 18b feels good even on 52x52! thank you very much!!!

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.
