Life In 19x19

KataGo has become much better at playing on board 37x37! lightvector, maybe you will make a bs37 version?

Support games with board size bigger than 25

three years ago, a version of katago appeared for boards up to 29x29. during this time, katago began to play much stronger and better. compare - the game 40b s299 on the board 29x29, 37x37 and 18b on the board 37x37 (the network plays against the same, playouts=3, chinese). 18b on 37x37 plays no worse than 40b on 29x29!

where did the formula 7+n(n+1) come from? (7 9 13 19 27 37 49 63 79 97 117)

Interesting. It does seem to work fairly well.

I've always liked: Conceptually, this means that the next board size has at least twice as many squares as the current one. The sequence would be (4 6 9 13 19 27 39 56 80 114)

Or, if you want to ensure odd board sizes, use: Conceptually, this means that the next board size is forced to be odd and has roughly twice as many squares as the current one. This sequence would be (5 7 9 13 19 27 39 55 77 109). The Excel code for this is something like =ROUND((previousCell*SQRT(2)-1)/2, 0)*2+1.

this formula (7+n(n+1)) can be explained as follows: we increase the size of the board 7 by 1 (in all directions) - we get 9, +2=13, +3=19, +4=27, +5=37, +6=49... but why is it so and not otherwise? that is, what is the point of this from the point of view of the game?

please, who can do this, make the katago version eigenavx2-windows-x64+bs37. I spent a lot of time and unsuccessfully!
(it is possible in pm)

can someone do it for a reward?

interestingly, katrain versions 1.3.1 - 1.3.3 additionally had a katago-bs52 exe-file
