  • Upgrade KataGo to 1.11.0.
  • Add items to "AI strategy". (See "Help" menu for details)
    • "persona": Randomly generate various playing styles for weak bots to avoid boredom. It also has "automatic adjustment of strength" and "virtual character system". You can input any name to generate a bot with the parameters based on its name. For example, "jowa" prefers to capture stones, "alex" likes positional plays, etc. Try various names to find your favorite opponents.
    • "pass": AI plays "pass" if there is room.
    • "swap n": AI uses either of two engines at random.
  • Support the new feature "ownershipStdev" in KataGo 1.10.0 (red backgrounds in the subboard), that looks like a heatmap of "KataGo's eye tracking".
  • Support "movesOwnership" in KataGo 1.11.0.
  • Show the preferred moves by "AIs for handicap games" as the stronger/weaker side. (small blue up/down triangles on the board, sharpness of the triangles in the winrate bar)
  • Add automatic adjustment for [SGF from Image].
  • Add "Auto overview" into Tool menu so that one can turn it off.
  • Add "Preferences" into Edit menu for convenience.
  • Slightly improve bogus territory counts.
  • Slightly improve ladder continuation.
  • Use change of ownership in addition to ownership itself for facial stones.
  • Guess the rule from komi if RU (rule) property is missing in SGF.
  • Officially support tsumego frame and ladder continuation.
  • Fix SSL issue on Let's Encrypt. (ref ref)
  • The keyboard shortcuts "0" to "9" are deleted for match vs. AI with obsolete strategies.

Incompatibilities:

  • Upgrade libraries (Electron 18, etc.). So you may need to do "npm install" again.

To use it on 64bit Windows immediately

Just download the all-in-one package (LizGoban-*_win_*.zip), unzip it, and double-click LizGoban *.exe. You do not need installation, configuration, additional downloads, and so on. Its file size is due to the built-in engine:

You can switch KataGo versions (CPU, modern CPU, GPU) by [Preset] menu in LizGoban. The first run of the GPU version may take a long time (1 hour on a low-spec machine, for example) for its initial tuning.

To customize it on 64bit Windows

If you want to use other engines, network files, options, ...

  1. Prepare engines (Leela Zero and/or KataGo) and their network files (aka. weights, models) by yourself, if necessary.
  2. Download and unzip the same all-in-one package as above.
  3. Copy sample/config.json to the same folder as LizGoban *.exe and edit it. See README for its format.

To use it on other platforms (Mac, Linux, ...) or Windows with more flexible configuration

Download the source code and see README.md.
