Ryan Li commenting his own game, 1st day, 2nd game.

Take care.

Ali Jabarin 2p vs. Ryan Li AGA. I haven't really had time to do more than a casual browse, but there are some turns that look interesting.







Take care.

[edit: non-AI games, faster browse]

Any chance you can move some of the game records behind hide tags? I haven't dug into the exact cause, but this page seems to have significant slowdowns to load/render on my machine, and I'm guessing it's to do with the sheer number of game records.

Edit: I've created a separate thread to record technical points about the page being slow, so we can avoid polluting this thread. viewtopic.php?f=14&t=17692. Please discuss there.

I think it has more to do with the huge amount of variations in these SGF than in the number of game records.

But yeah, as it is, it's unbearable

[Ferran]

Okay... done. I haven't tried to hide them: I recall I tried something on that line on the first league and it wouldn't work. And back then I had more time to try. Since the games I've uploaded have OGS standard filenames, anyone who wants the full AI can download them from there. Also, ai-sensei has a bunch of those games evaluated, now. You can find the updated list at the League's webpage.

Since we're at this, if there's a third League soon after the second one, I'm afraid I'll have to leave the task of uploading the games to someone else. There are several games on this League already that I haven't had time to see (much less watch) myself. My apologies. It's a simple task, but it does take some time, and it doesn't look like late summer or autumn will allow me enough free time to be confident I can be a regular poster.

Take care.

So, results of the League itself:

Ryan Li [6]
Ilya Shikshin [4]
Pavol Lisy [4]
Artem Kachanovskyi [3]
Adrii Kravets [2]
Ali Jabarin [1]
Tanguy Le Calvé [1]

If I understand it right, Ilya and Pavol should have another match to decide who will play Ryan in the Final.

That said... communication could be better. Those last games on Tuesday... Maybe it was said on the Twitch commentary, but I can't usually follow that. And Tuesday is when you can start to expect a refresh on the League webpage. How many people missed that one? Because it still says...

Starting from 20 June 2020, the EGF professionals plus one American professional will play in an online league at https://online-go.com every Saturday and Sunday at 18:00 CET/CEST.

And it's not even my emphasis.

Take care

PS/EDIT: The final scores have been published. The schedule for the final and grand final haven't. In the equivalent time, last Tuesday, the games between Ilya and Pavol had not only been scheduled but the first two had already been played. I'll let it rest.
