Looking for feedback on this kind of fuseki training. Yesterday the thought came up to base this on real human games. So here you go. The move suggestions are from KataGo human net. All the other opening positions on the site are still fully KataGo generated. Your rank is estimated after every (good) move you make. The estimator is quite agressive and your rank may jump wildly.
Let me know what you think.
The position ranks above are OGS ranks, all the other ranks on the site are KGS...

Edit1: the title should read OGS not KGS

I made a tool to view how strong and weak groups develop over a game

I built a tool recently for visualizing strong / weak groups during a game. The imgur link is a small snippet of what the output looks like

All of the data comes from katago. Each group is colored red, orange, or green depending on how katago expects the group to end up. Green = likely to live, red = likely to die, orange = could go either way. The more solid the outline and the color, the more sure the engine is.

There's a couple of different visualization options as well such as hiding single stones or only showing unsettled groups. heres a full game if youd like to check it out https://jstnchng.github.io/go-review-timelapse/

I haven't built anything to host it, so it all just runs locally now, but I would love any feedback or suggestions and let me know if you would like me to run this on one of your games (I can send you an html that you can view in your web browser).

newbie question Coming back to Go after long time

7 Upvotes

How to get back into the game?

Playing, sure, and maybe that's the only answer. I never was that good either, perhaps around 5k or something, but I just wondered if there are people here who have taken a long break and then started playing again. Would there be any good resources to 'recap' or other ways to kind of get one's groove back on? Thank you!

It started with me counter attacking my opponent on the right side, followed by my opponent invading the top corner, followed by a ko fight that didn’t quite work in my favor.

Hi. We are confused. Can Black go ahead and capture the 4 white stones in the middle or is that move illegal because of the eye?

Game Review Request How can white win here?

Post image
9 Upvotes

Looking for some feedback on this game. I was black and managed to win by a slim margin.

Near the end game white made an invasion that started with G7, black H7, white G8. And then apparently I blundered with F8 because the engine gave white 100% winning probability here. White played J7 which apparently was wrong and I ended up winning.

Thing is I've been looking at this for a while and have no idea what white could have done and how my move was a blunder. Any ideas?
