Need help installing Fuego and GnuGo

[SCWillson]

I have now successfully installed Fuego as well. Things are definitely looking up on this front.

One of the features of both MFG12 and SmartGo I was most enjoying was the thousands of built-in Go problems. Does Drago have a similar feature; and if so how do I access it? The "Solve" on the menu bar is grayed out. Is it possible to add problems from a third party source?

I did manage to install Kogo's Joseki Dictionary. Now if I could just figure out how I did it...?

SmartGo uses problems from goproblems.com. You can download them from there and solve with an app like gogrinder or drago.

I'm not sure if Drago comes with problems or not. You can try file>open and look in the Drago folder. If there's something called easy.sgf, open it and then try "solve" on the menu bar. And yes, you can install problem collections from other sources.

One resource is here: http://goproblems.sourceforge.net/

I don't know where to find other easy ones to download. Oren suggested above getting them from goproblems.com, but I think you have to be a paying member to be able to download...

I don't have any real problem paying for Go problems. After all, I was willing to pay $50 for a good Go program and I figure including those in a commercial Go app is part of the retail price.

In the meantime I have a couple thousand problems to work through before I need to invest in a problem collection.

I bought this set for problems.

Can anyone explain how to enable engine levels in GnuGo and/or Fuego? They are grayed out under both engines. I'm running both under the latest Windows version of Drago.

I have Aya installed as well but I'm not certain it even has levels as it is a much less powerful engine.

Fuego doesn't have levels. The best you can do is play handicap or reverse komi.

Thanks.

What about GnuGo? Does it have levels?

I have no idea what this means, but on the game engines page, you can paste this:

Code: Select all

--mode gtp --level 5  --chinese-rules

into gnugo 3.8's "parameters." Then, when you start an engine game, you can choose from level 1 - 10.
