Configuring katago to analyze Dosaku and Huang Longshi?

[Trevoke]

Hi!

What are the proper configurations to give katago so it properly evaluates these older games? For instance:

1. Neither Dosaku nor Huang Longshi had komi
2. Huang Longshi lived at a time when group tax was a thing


What else do I need to tell katago (with kata-set-rule) so that it will be looking at the board the same way the players did?

Thanks!

maybe both

Code: Select all

taxRule = ALL

and

Code: Select all

ignoreGTPAndForceKomi = 0

for Chinese.

For Japanese

Code: Select all

ignoreGTPAndForceKomi = 0

Code: Select all

rules = japanese

Good luck!

Hi! Thank you for the reply. Based on your answer, I believe that if I make the simple changes you recommended, katago will be able to properly evaluate each player's games. Is this right, or are there more changes I should try to make?


Here's what I have figured out how to do:

For Huang Longshi

Let katago start normally and use the Tromp-Taylor rule; the only change I will make is this:

Code: Select all

kata-set-rule tax ALL

For Dosaku

Let katago start normally and use the Tromp-Taylor rule; the only change I will make is this:

Code: Select all

kata-set-rules japanese

---------------

What I have not figured out how to do is

Code: Select all

ignoreGTPAndForceKomi

-- I don't know what the command in the GTP console is for this.

I know I can manually set the komi to 0 in the game info in lizzie and that'll adjust the setting for katago, so I can do this manually, if that's the only change provided by that setting?

yeah if you can just manually change komi thats the best, you dont have to worry about that command. i was thinking about editing the config file, not adjusting the command line for the group tax. but honestly not too good at that stuff. hopefully someone else knows.
edit: it looks like you can use kata-set-rules stone-scoring in gtp or japanese for the other one. that is very simple, nice!
