Life In 19x19

Hi,

finally a new version! Previous one was from 2017... Version 4.30 is mainly a maintenance release with a lot of fixes related to Unicode and Windows 10. Also, Drago has become open source and the path to compile it is fully described in the repository.

For those who don't know Drago, it's a ...

Should be possible with Drago. Options > Advanced > Board > Start variation from 1. This is available for all export format (text, pdf, word, html).

Drago handles the following modes to detect correct or wrong branches:


⋅ uligo mode: wrong variations are marked with a TR (triangle) or WV (wrong variation) property,
⋅ Goproblems mode : correct variations ends with the word RIGHT in comment,
⋅ main line mode ...

saving variations *after* selecting a line and playing at this point using Drago with GNU Go.
I understand that you use the "start from current position" feature when starting a game against GnuGo. This creates a new tab, extracts the moves from root to current position, send them to GnuGo and ...

Either a bug or something confusing with the interface. Could you send me the sgf file and a description of what you expect to see? (email address in about box).

⋅ with the game tree
⋅ with the list of variation coordinates in the sidebar
⋅ with markups on board (ghost ...

Sorry, this is one of the limitations and would require some work and a new release.

So basically it is still a single sgf but it contains many games merged together in the form of variations.

Is there a software which can do this? Drago can with some limitations: only main branches of input games are processed and comments are not kept. It has been designed to make game trees ...

Basic feature since first releases. Can even open sgf folders. I am curious about what could have failed.

Drago is a great program
So good to read Thanks!

Drago comes with the "-d 0" setting for pachi. However, pachi seems to require a lot of memory. For instance, I have to close my browser to make it work on my netbook with 1GB RAM.

For the same reason, pachi pattern files should be used only if a ...

This has been tested on xp and w7. I would be interested in if you could get more information by looking at the gtp window and comparing with what happends on the command line.

There are uses for engine vs engine
To get result statistics without too much user intervention, a program would have to implement a tournament mode enabling to:

play games with various engines
play games with various settings
repeat games with same settings and engines
gather and format ...

@mw42: good timing!

@skan: yes, it is in the list. Not sure how this could be useful, but would be nice.

@kivi: this makes sense. Added to the list.
