Re: How to make KGS better?

It isn't something that can be made opensource easily as there is a very steep learning curve to how it all functions

No offense here, but this is a completely invalid reason. Source is source, you put it out there and smart developers will figure it out and even help clean it up for you (for ...

Analysis of Yunzi stones (lead, etc)

I had seen threads and conversations here and elsewhere about yunzi stones having lead and being composed of a formula known only by the creators, etc.

Well, a while back I ordered some double-convex yunzi stones from YMI. A couple of them came chipped or split in half so I sent them to a friend ...

Re: Correspondence Games

I started out by playing 'longer games' in person at my go club. Online I'd basically only play blitz or near-blitz since its hard to find time at home to sit at a game so long uninterrupted. So recently I've decided to stop playing real time games online and treat my club games as the 'fast games ...

OGS accessibility bookmarklet

Hi folks. I made a small bookmarklet that allows people to play moves by typing coordinates instead of clicking a mouse. I wanted to share it here in case there are any disabled players or folks who are otherwise unable to use a mouse who still want to play go online.

I hope some of you find it ...

Re: Go multiplayer

Actually whether it uses java or not, a hi-dpi compatible KGS would be great. More and more computers, especially on laptops, are using higher res screens that make the interface of cgoban basically unreadable/unusable. Looks like JDK9 will have hi-dpi support, but its unclear if old applications ...

Re: Go multiplayer

Well, OGS runs just fine from a ios/android browser. I suppose a KGS interface could be useful? Though if you go that route, make it via a html5 wrapper so we can stop using this horrible java interface.

Re: Most human-like Go computer config (preferably open sour

Thanks, I'll check it out. I'm not necessarily looking for the strongest computer, but one that emulates 'normal' moves you might see against a particular level of opponent. For example even the very weak computer players are often insanely good at reading out life and death.

Re: Most human-like Go computer config (preferably open sour

Sadly I think I'm somewhere between GNUgo and Fuego, where Gnugo doesn't really challenge me much, but I have no idea how close or far I am from beating Fuego because MCTS means it basically is always winning by 0.5-2.5 points

Most human-like Go computer config (preferably open source)

I've been playing a few games against computers recently due to lack of time for online games, and I was wondering what computer go you all think plays the most like a 'real' opponent? I.e. plays least wild moves in the early game, and even maybe makes occasional mistakes in local fight reading?
