Hi Sighris, i have always thought that creating algorithms for arbitrary large go boards should enlighten us in regards to playing on smaller go boards. A humans performance doesn't differ that much on differently sized large go boards and it scales pretty well. For example one would find it rath

A guidline for CGOS users: Do self-play to pick-up few strongest programs at your site (never use CGOS for this purpose) and throw them into CGOS to evaluate their ratings among others. Please note that CGOS is the valueable shared resource for all developers. #We (mainly Hiroshi and me) are

Hi Remi, Wow, "Weights" is your engine. So my guess was right :-) In 9x9 CGOS, did you train in 9x9, or just use 19x19 network? Weights_33_400 is stronger than Weights_40_400. Maybe it is because Weights_33_400 use CrazyStone's playout, and Weights_40_400 does not use? Thanks, Hiroshi Yamashita

It's not even just liberties and semeai, it's also eyes. Consider for example a large dragon that has miai for 2 eyes in distant locations, and the opponent then takes one of them - you'd like the policy net to now suggest the other eye-making move far away. And you'd also like the value net to dis

192 and 256 are the numbers of channels. They are fully connected, so the number of 3x3 filters is 192^2, and 256^2. Having liberty counts and string size as input helps, but it solves only a small part of the problem. You can't read a semeai from just the liberty-count information. I tried to

I'm curious if anyone has applied this idea in their Go software, and what results you obtained? It is a way to make rotations (and transpositions with more effort) go away as an issue, regardless of the way you input the board you'd get the same result back out.

Hi, Thanks Peter for running Leela. I don't think the many LZ instances cause a big problem. It's a pity Zen did not play cronus. cronus is very impressive. The next run of Bayeselo might move cronus to the top. zero40b is very strong too. The new wave of AlphaZero clones will become considera

Hi Hiroshi, I've turned off half of the LZ instances and hopefully Hideki will run Zen again. The various versions of Zen were the most useful high ranking anchors on CGOS. There have been many changes to LZ's engine supposed to make it stronger, so I'd like to know if the ratings are actually di

No Zen on CGOS is pity. To LZ-0xx-p1600-t1-r1 author, I think LZ-073-p1600-t1-r1 has BayesElo already. From LeelaZero page, 73 2018-02-05 23:0654bfb7b8 LZ-54bfb7-t1-p1600, BayesElo is 2903. Recalculating CGOS rating is not essential. And too many same kind bots running makes many s
