@deungsan

I respect your right to participate in this discussion. However, some of your arguments are so flawed that they hardly merit further debate. You claim that certain way of doing things are considered Go etiquette and that Ke Jie's deviation from it is in breach of that etiquette. It seems ...

What happens when too many prisoners overflow a lid?

Just ask refree an extra bowl and lid.

I have never had a situation of lid overflow in my entire go history. There were many cases where many dead stones resulted in capturing race, then the game ends with either side resign before taking out ...

The following is the sgf of the game (downloaded from http://www.go4go.net). This game has not been finished and some post above said it reached a critical juncture in which life and death of White sequence in the top right of the board had not been checked despite that AI favored White with 98% and ...

I don’t have the Korean perspective on why the rules are the way they are.

I am Korean, a Tygem 6-dan player, and currently an after-school Go instructor for elementary school students. I have seen the problematic scene from the third game between Ke Jie and Byun Sang-il, and I would like to ...

English Translation (ChatGTP did):

"as i like to collect old programs, i would like to ask you all, whether or not someone has the old DOS Files for Handtalk somewhere.
I already found the 9x9 version, but I want the full DOS Version."

My errors are fixed by changing notebook setting. Setting hardware accelerator to "GPU' lets colab use TeslaT4.

Now it works fine.

"What language are you developing in?"

Thanks in response.

I wrote it in javascript.

I have never used emscription, so no idea how to convert the c++ source of OGS score estimator to javascript.

Recently I have completed a sgf viewer that shows stone moves on a board. And I would like to have a score estimator in it so that it can tell the scores of black and white and which stones are dead. I am wondering if I can use the OGS score estimator(https://github.com/online-go/score-estimator) in ...

iopq:

I downloaded Gnu Go 3.8 and used Panda glgo for hosting it, and play myself against it. However, glgo missed scoring dead stones at the ending stage.

Is there a better go client than Panda Glgo that can tell life and death of a group?

"Leela 0.11.0 https://www.sjeng.org/dl/setupLeela0110.exe"

Thank you very much.

I have installed Leela 0.11.0, and tried to set a level, let't say, 25k with 13x13 board size, but I couldn't.

How do you set a difficulty level of this program?
