 I think it is better to stick to 9x9 as the beginners tournament,
 where it is easy to test new ideas in quick games, and 19x19 as the

I agree 100%. Other board sizes are unnecessary, and if 19x19 makes the
9x9 server decrease in interest, that's the natural evolution of the game.
The 19x19 will be the one people will use as a reference of the state of
the art in computer go.

I am not ready yet, but have worked a lot in computer go this year even if
not full time. In July, I will work at least 3 months full time in my 
engine.

The board system is done although not debugged. Debugging it is a software
project by itself because it has over 90.000 lines of automatically 
generated

assembly language source code. ( Not kidding. Of course, the board does more
that just checking if a move is legal ;-) ) I am eager to join the 19x19
server a soon as I am ready!

Rémi,

May I ask you some more questions?

(1) You define Dj as Dj=Mij*ci+Bij. Is it not Aij but Bij?
What does this mean?
  

Yes, it is ! Thanks for pointing that mistake out.

(2) You have relatively few shape patterns. How large is each
pattern?  5x5, 7x7, or more?
  
I use radius 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10, according to the distance defined in 
Table 1. This looks very much like those used by de Groot and the 
Microsoft guys, with some very small differences. With a radius of 10 
according to my distance, the most distant point is 5 vertices away from 
the center.


I did not make big efforts to learn more patterns, and bigger ones, 
because I found that they do not improve the playing strength. It 
improves prediction rate a lot, but not playing strength. Crazy Stone is 
not significantly stronger with patterns of size 3 to 10 than it was 
with patterns of sizes 3 and 4 only.


That may be because it is not efficient to use knowledge in the widening 
algorithm that is not available to the random simulations. Also, large 
patterns are useful only in the opening, not in the middle game where 
most crucial tactics take place.

(3) You say the nth move is added when 40*1.4^(n-2) simulations
have been run. How did you determine these numbers?
  
I tried plenty of alternatives and kept what produced the best strength 
against GNU Go. Remarkably, I found that the same formula produces good 
strength, whatever the size of the board. The alternatives I tried were 
linear widening (really does not work), and changing the values of 40 
and 1.4. Performance is not very sensitive to those values. I tuned them 
when I was using less clever patterns, so it may be that they are not 
very optimal.


Thank you very much for your feedback.

[computer-go] CGOS 19x19 almost ready.

2007-05-22 Thread Don Dailey
Ok the 19x19 server is almost ready.  

I would like to get 3 or 4 volunteers to run a copy of the Anchor.

The Anchor will be GnuGo 3.7.10 with these parameters:  

gnugo --mode gtp --score aftermath --capture-all-dead --chinese-rules

The idea is to have at least 1 or 2 playing at any given time on CGOS.

You don't have to run it 24/7, that's why it's good to get a few 
volunteers, so at least 1 or 2 is always on.

If you want to run one of these anchors give me:

   1. The name on CGOS you will use for the program.

The Anchors will be fixed at 1800 ELO.

[computer-go] Temporary instructions for CGOS 19x19

2007-05-22 Thread Don Dailey

The 19x19 is serving games right now and is up and running.
Here are some temporary instructions on getting going until
I fix things up a bit:

  1.  You must modify the tcl engine client slightly:

  1.1  Server is the same  (cgos.boardspace.net)
  1.2  Port is 6819 (instead of 6867 for the 9x9 server.)

  This requires a single line change to line 3 of the
  the cgos3.tcl script:

  set port   6819

  2.  This is an undocumented feature, but the current cgosview 
  can be used by invoking it like this:
 
 cgosview cgos.boardspace.net 6819

or 

 tclkit cgosview.kit cgos.boardspace.net 6819

all depending on which version you have.

Earlier versions of cgosview do not support this,
but version 0.32 does (you will see the version
number in upper right hand corner of a game 
being viewed.)

  3.  The web pages need some fixing up - but you can see the
   current standings here:

http://cgos.boardspace.net/19x19/standings.html


I'll try to make a nicer way to make the clients more flexible about
choosing the appropriate servers and ports, perhaps with configuration
file.   I don't really understand the best way to do this in Windows,
but in linux I would use standard practices, a command line option to
point to a config file,  and a default config file in ~/.cgos.cfg

The Anchor will be GnuGo 3.7.10 with these parameters:

In GTP mode, if the time_settings command is received by the GNU Go
engine, it will start adapting its own level automatically. If you
want similar responses and playing levels from programs running on
different hardwares (mostly CPU speed), you need to limit the engine's
abillity by specifying both --min-level and --max-level and make sure
the chosen level will have good chances to meet the deadline. On a
slow box, there's a potential that level 10 may not be able to finish
a 400 moves game in 15 minutes (and 400 moves long games may very well
happen with the CGOS rules)

And I'm not sure if it makes a difference (I don't recall if it's the
default setting in the engine or not), but I added
--positional-superko to the command line, which means, my program did
experience losses on CGOS due to illegal moves without it.

[computer-go] 9x9 and 19x19

2007-05-22 Thread Stefan Mertin
Hi everyone!

It is really exciting and captivating 
to follow the threads exchanged here
and I have the impression that computer go 
is again coming in a very hot phase these days!

After having done a lot 13x13 in 2002-2005 
( meanwhile with WinHonte, Explorer, ... 25 'classic' programs listed at
http://geocities.com/comp_go/13x13.html )
I am now playing a continuation of my private tournaments 
for as much different programs as possible
in 9x9 Go and 19x19 Go!

I am totally found of Don Daileys CGoServer which is indeed a fantastic, 
great work and of immense use for all computer Go programmers.
And also the KGS tournaments run by Nick Wedd has become
one of the most important goals for every actual Go program.

So my personal tournaments, run on my private PC,
are just meant to give an additional possibility 
to compare some actual with some older Go software,
that perhaps would/could not participate in those two events above.

To begin with, I started playing 9x9 Go with GnuGo v3.6
(I took this version as being the last 'released' one, but if there won´t be 
a newer version or even a v3.8 soon, I´ll probably change to v3.7.10 next) 
on different levels to see how much playing strength 
would increase with more thinking time.

From a total of over 2.500 games 
played in levels 10, 12, 14, 15 or 16
It showed that GnuGo 3.6 was best for 9x9 Go on level 15.

Meanwhile I am playing 9x9 Go
nearly round-robin with some 
actually available Go software
(Aya v5.99, 
SmartGo v2.6, 
WinHonte v2.01, 
Dariush v3.157)
as well as some older versions
(ManyFaces v11.0, 
Go Intellect v10.0, 
GoeMate of 2001, 
Go++ v5.0)
and even started some games with 
CrazyStone0005 (the version that won gold in Turin, 2006) 
and some first experimental versions of Suzie.

Detailed results as well as all the games
will be posted soon and hopefully published as well.

Next I want to play 19x19 as well
(and also include FunGo from 2000, which only runs on 19x19).

Actually I let play 150 games per pairing in 9x9 Go
with two moves preset
and 100 games per pairing in 19x19 Go
with five moves preset.
This might change with more experience 
and first of all I plan to include series of handicap games!

There is lots of work to be done for it.
Comments  questions ( soon new versions of Go software..!) 
are highly appreciated and welcome!

Thanks,
Stefan

 I think there has been a marked change of interest since the
 introduction of UCT, and - around the same time - the cgos 9x9
 tournament page.
 
 I understand that most people do their experiments on 9x9, the results
 are available so much faster. Still, I think it might be time to loosen
 the focus on 9x9, and have some more things happening on other sizes.
 
 Would there be interest in a tournament system for 19x19 programs?
 Something like 30 mins / player sounds like a reasonable extrapolation.

OK,  everyone running a GnuGo anchor needs to know this.   

Let's make the default level be level 8 - since we want
to be able to very comfortably run this on slow hardware.


So let's make this the command for gnugo:

  gnugo --mode gtp  
--score aftermath
--capture-all-dead
--min-level 8
--max-level 8
--chinese-rules
--positional-superko

A couple of quick observations:

In java it's usually faster on modern hardware to pipe serialised

Interesting!  I'll keep that in mind.


The Orego code should be of use to anyone familiar with Java who is
just getting into computer Go. should read The Orego code should be
of use to anyone familiar with Java who is just getting into UCT and

Fair enough.

I was surprised not to find a copy of the javadocs on your website.


They're in the .jar file. At a later date I'll consider putting them  
directly on the website, but the way web space is allocated around  
here makes this awkward.



Other than that, it looks great.

How about TMGnuGo-3.7.10 which is a more conventional notation?  

I have set up TMGnuGo-3.7.10 as an anchor.

I think that this version is sufficiently fast that it will move in
time on most modern systems.

 MMM, with 30 minute clock, does it make a difference how fast the
 various CPUs are, or is GnuGo3.7.10 
 sufficiently quick that it is unlikely to run out of time?

 Great!
 
  I would like to get 3 or 4 volunteers to run a copy of the Anchor.
 
 Since I asked for 19x19, I think it is fair if I colunteer. I put one
 running on my server box, a 2GHz Celeron, which doesn't have so much
 else to do...
 
  The Anchor will be GnuGo 3.7.10 with these parameters:  
  gnugo --mode gtp --score aftermath --capture-all-dead
 --chinese-rules
  
 1. The name on CGOS you will use for the program.
 
 How about GnuGo-3.7.10-H
 
 I can try to set it up tonight. But I need to know where to connect
 it,
 and if I need to change anything (else) in the cgos script to get it
 to
 work.

Re: [computer-go] Re: Amsterdam 2007 paper (final version)

2007-05-22 Thread Rémi Coulom

Hi,

I have just updated my web page with the final version of my paper:
http://remi.coulom.free.fr/Amsterdam2007/
I have tried to improve it based on all your comments and questions, and 
those of the workshop reviewer. I thank you all very much for your 
interesting remarks.


I have not included results against GNU Go with progressive widening and 
no pattern in the random simulations: pattern are so deeply hard-wired 
into to my current random player that it would be too much work to 
produce such a version. Results with no pattern in the random 
simulations were obtained with the old version of Crazy Stone, before I 
added pattern stuff.


So, I got 57% against GNU Go at 128 minutes/game, 1 CPU: first time I 
win against GNU on 19x19! I still have a lot of progress to make in 
order to catch up with Mogo, though.


Thanks again,

Rémi

You could also throw out the result when an anchor loses on time.

Yes, see my later emails - 

It needs to be:

  gnugo --mode gtp  
--score aftermath
--capture-all-dead
--min-level 8
--max-level 8
--chinese-rules
--positional-superko

Yes, that eats up one of the necessary external ko-threats 
which White needs in order to win. The GoLaTeX style file I have
does not mention the Ko-threats and answers played elsewhere
underneath the diagrams.

[computer-go] CGOS

2007-05-22 Thread Don Dailey
CGOS is down.

There appears to be a physical problem with the cgos boardspace
server and it's my understanding it is being looked at.

It may be several hours before it is back - 
since it is late here and I don't know how long it will be before
it's fixed.
