Life In 19x19

Hi,

If you enjoy playing with pachipachi bot on kgs there's a little fundraising going on at the moment to buy new hardware.
(The hardware it was running on for the last 5 years just died !)

Many people find it useful and it'd be great to run it as a community supported project (until now i've been paying for all the costs).
It's running on a Raspberry Pi so costs are pretty low, we're looking at about 70€ for a Raspberry Pi 4.
(I made some calculations, if every player it played with in the last year gives 1$ that should be enough for the next 100 years' worth of hardware !)

If you'd like to participate or show support feel free to join in !
Support page is at https://pachi.or.cz (scroll down for donate button).
More details on kgs pachipachi info page.

Many thanks to everyone who contributed to Pachi in last years, go players in particular.
Finding blunders in games has been so helpful lately to make it better.
Thanks for playing =)

I am pleasantly surprised by Pachi's game! launched into sabaki, 5 seconds per turn
Zenith Go 7, 3d - Pachi

Pachi 10 s/m - Zenith Go 7, 4d

Pachi 12.86 pre-release is out:

• katago cpu build
• added --modern-joseki option
• many fixes (rave, playout, mm, seki ...)
• updated joseki fixes database

Have fun =)
Let me know if you see anything broken.

Hello!

Checking in on Pachi for one of my new Go project:

Could you expand on what is exactly the KataGo CPU build? how is it different with the former Pachi? how is this different with KataGo? will there be two branches of Pachi in the future, or is this KataGo version the only version of Pachi going forward?

Thanks!
