Re: A fantastic documentary on the Game of Go...

Hopefully there's still seeders for the documentary. It was many years back... I never got around to watch it as it was in Japanese. :sad:

Re: A fantastic documentary on the Game of Go...

Many thanks for sharing. :salute:

There was another documentary on Shusaku by NHK Japan too. I have it, unfortunately it's in Japanese and there's no subtitles available. Such a pity...

Got it when I got really into Hikaru no Go many years back... ;-)

Re: Software for visualizing influence and territory


The "heat map" was not of influence but of the probability of the next move being played at that location. So in a given position it might think that Black was 43% likely to play move #1, 19% likely to play move #2, etc. This was its "policy network" that was a neural network trained to imitate ...

Re: Whad did you think of the Sedol-AlphaGo commentaries

As an absolute beginner, I loved the Garlock-Redmond commentaries. It was pitched at the right level without being overly complexed.

Things like:
1. Moyo / Frameworks
2. Territorial influence
3. Cutting
4. Life and Death
5. Joseki
6. Ladders
7. Sente
8. Hand of God 'moves' :razz:

Were all ...

Re: Software for visualizing influence and territory

Pardon me, if I'm mistaken but during the AlphaGo vs Lee Sedol matches, I heard remarks about AlphaGo having a heat map over the entire Go board, to visualise the entire situation.

Anyone have any idea whether this was correct? It would be interesting to see what this visual representation looked ...

Re: Subtitles for movie the stone

I had no rights to do it, but The Stone movie is now translated to Russian language by myself. We have not only subtitles, but also version with voice.
I can send torrent link (or stream video link), if you would like to check it.
In Russia we even had a contest with prizes for best review of Stone ...

Re: Motivational Stories for Absolute Beginner at 30++ old

If it helps the OP, I am 40 and started a bit over a year ago. The challenges of a mature adult life are definitely there for learning Go, but I'm enjoying it immensely.
It does, it does! Very encouraging to hear your story especially when starting a bit late as compared to the 'kids'.

So far nothing :/

Thanks! Probably it was not released in English then. Too bad, let's hope it's released in the future. Anyone want to contact the English distributor per the Youtube trailer and ask?

Re: Subtitles for movie the stone

I downloaded the Stone movie and watched it without titles. It looks pretty good however without titles you can only get so much :/

But I noticed they were constantly mentioning Lee Sedol

Maybe you can do some internet 'research' and see whether it was released in the West. I think the subtitles ...

Skitarg is talking about this movie:


Krama, you're talking about this one:


The Divine Move was :tmbup: but didn't really feature much Go. It was more of a background piece.

Re: Beginner's Visual Approach to Go

In principle, influence is not limited in its directions. If you really need to show impact on other intersections, apply my definitions m and m for each intersection and there for each player, but this is above your beginner level.

Thanks!

You're right, is out of my league. I'll wait for my ...

Well, I have to admit, it is only on Tygem - so some might say: that's not really something to be proud of, why is he making such a fuss ...!?

Yeah, I know, but still: I crossed that magic border and I gotta say: it feels quite good!
