Life In 19x19

Does anyone else know any reason why there'd be such a difference in calculation of variations between Lizzie and KaTrain and what I asked in previous post? I know this community is kind of small. Is there anyone who knows how these programs work that has gone in depth on AI? I'm having a hard time ...

Thanks for the replies. I was trying to find more info on Lizzie AI and came across KaTrain and AlphaGo Zero/Master games which I didn't know existed, and have been replaying those. Surprising to see it still makes mistakes as well, but they are typically giving up a point or two endgame or ...

AIs are like humans, sometimes they are like "oops I didn't expect move 4, so in fact my move 1 was a mistake". Most of the time, after say 100000 playouts the AI will find a better move than that move 1, but in complicated situations humans may occasionally find better moves than the AI. Is there ...

I have a few more questions I remembered about the AI.

I noticed sometimes there is a move with a higher percentage, sometimes a whole percent that is in the red, while another move is in the blue, is there a reason for it not switching the colors when there's a higher percentage move?

Are the ...

Well I keep getting the game data is invalid message anytime I try to embed it through Eidogo. Not sure what I did there as it loads on Drago and CGoban just fine. Even tried creating a New SGF file on CGoban and just merging the moves there, still invalid. No big deal I guess. Just thought it was ...

When you change komi from 7.5 the default to 6.5 the AI can compensate for that right? First, I don't understand what the question is. Are you asking if changing an AI setting does not actually change the AI setting? Second, why would you change the komi in that way? Doesn't Leela default to ...

Hi I recently downloaded Lizzie and was using it to review some pro games to see how many mistakes pros make in a game. I had a few questions.

Does it matter what GPU you use? I'm using a 760 GTX, old card, so I was wondering if that affected the strength and ability to pick the best moves in the ...

This is another more up to date resource on books and how they rate.

This guy explains what books he read, rates them, and when he studied them to reach 6 dan.

David Carlton's site is a bit dated from the mid 2000s.

Well after going through many of the games. I've learned a new proverb. When your opponent builds a wall early, attack it immediately to reduce it's influence and potential. AlphaGo typically ends up making territory while doing this or it's own influence potential.

Anyone know what time settings they are playing on? I'm assuming they are playing with at least 30 second byomi. But I'm guessing since it sounds like 10 games are being played a day, they aren't very long games, and the pros aren't able to play at their best because of it.

Regardless, I've looked ...

I can't believe they are just going to donate $100k in merchandise. That sounds insane. Figured they would at least want to make some of their money back off the remaining stock. So they could try to break even.

I think I remember having a similar problem as well. I can't remember for sure, but I think you could just double click on the server name or the dot to select it and it would automatically login. See if that works.

No, that didn't work. When I double clicked, the window would go blank and ...

I own Strategic Concepts of Go already. I knew Basics of Go strategy was an update, just not sure if it was better or improved on Strategic Concepts at all and was better to get. I've seen some talk about Fundamental Principles of Go, but not sure if it was worth getting. Really I'm just not sure ...

How do these fundamentals books compare to each other?

Strategic Concepts of Go
Basics of Go Strategy
Fundamental Principles of Go


I don't know the two first ones, but according to the description that Robert Jasiek gave in the book forum, they seem to deal with maybe 10 or 20 % of the ...
