Using a bot with Sabaki (or other tool)

Post by Sivak »

So, I was interested in getting into trying these analysis tools, but the only thing I've been able to even get to work is what seems to be a bare bones version of Leela Zero. I've seen videos of these tools doing analysis, showing percents and potential sequences.

I was most curious in trying the Elf Bot, and I found a compiled binary on Sensei's Library, but it doesn't work. I've followed the guide included with it and included it, but after selecting it for an opponent nothing happens.

Is there something I missed or is there a better way?

I made sure to get the newest version of Sabaki, but no luck. Also, the newest version of Sabaki seems to have a rendering problem with some of the lines on the board being thicker than others...

Any help appreciated. Thank you.
That's the end of this chapter.

Hi,
First of all, if I haven't understood what you want, just tell me, and I'll remove this post.

If you want to use Sabaki or Lizzie with Leela Zero, you should first download them at :

https://github.com/leela-zero/leela-zero/releases
https://github.com/SabakiHQ/Sabaki/releases
https://github.com/featurecat/lizzie/releases

If you want to use the Elfv2 weights, you can download them at http://zero.sjeng.org/ (it's 05dbca15)

unzip it, and you get a folder containing a file named elfv2 (without extension). This file is the weight you want.

To use it with Lizzie (V0.6) put the elfv2 file in your Lizzie folder, open config.txt and change to "network-file": "elfv2", it should work.

To use it with Sabaki, open Sabaki, "Engines", "Manage Engines", "Add",
First line : name it (Elfv2 for example)
Second line : click the folder picture and navigate to leelaz.exe
3rd line : --gtp -w C:\path to the weight file\elfv2 --noponder
4th line time_settings 0 5 1 (= 4sec/move)

You can use Sabaki with other engines, like gnugo, Zen, etc.

I hope this helps, but again, if it's not what you wanted, I'll remove this post.

First off, thanks for the reply and sorry for my late response. This is info I wanted.

I was having some issues at first, but they seemed to be resolved. I deleted the issues. Basically, it seems the ELF file has to be in the same directory as Leela Zero. Or maybe I typed the path wrong, I don' tknow.

GNU Go also works.

Thanks again. I'll play around with this some more.
That's the end of this chapter.
