  • As a follow up, I looked into this position with the current strongest rated network, and at 25 visits, K14 is actually the favorite move, followed by the reduction at O8*. After 100,000 visits it hates every move, but thinks that K14 is about 6.5 points better than the next best move H14. There are some big territorial swings, and depending on the exact sequence the network will like the situation more or less, so the network thinks this is a very volatile position.

    * Note, now that I’ve had a look at it, I don’t believe that it is possible for black to kill white at M10. Best black can do seems to be seki: bO8, O7, N5, P8, N8, N9, M8, P9. But if you have a better result for black please let me know.


  • Blind spots like this occur all of the time. Can you give some additional details and context? And I’ll try to get this position as an sgf position for training.

    What network were you using to evaluate this position?

    Do you have an sgf file of this game that you can share, so that I can attempt to reproduce this issue? (Sometimes, the real blind spot is few plys into the tree, so it’s sometimes useful to be able to look into the position.)














  • I’ve been looking into NAS boxes myself for my job. My colleague and I eventually landed on Synology’s DiskStation DS420j for my purposes. However, I cannot yet recommend it, because this is still in the planning stage, and we’re also running under the theory that we will be doing minor changes such as upgrading the RAM and so on.

    However, this being said, if we didn’t have the labor budget constraints to consider (humans are expensive), we would probably wind up going with a microATX case and motherboard and rolling our own.
