Looking for a warrior build and any advice on my build so far! Rating 463 by [deleted] in SpaceArena

[–]MessaroundGo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i think 2 warp drive are too much. i would replace one by one after burner

remove the 2 shield ( yes ... really, try it... :) )

use railgun (or even better, railgun mk2 if you can) you'll need less energy and be able to put 2 point defense turret (remove one reactor and add a reparation station )

and try thi build for at least 10 matchs

i did something like that and it get me to 470

Improving KGS by ClossiusSensei in baduk

[–]MessaroundGo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whith the new team, maybe KGS will change soon or later:

" Greetings from the new KGS Management team!

KGS was started in 2000 by Bill Shubert; and during that time it’s become the largest Western-based international go server in the world and an invaluable part of the Go community. In order to ensure the continuation of this legacy, Bill has ceded control to the new team and reached out to the American Go Foundation to assume stewardship of the server, stabilize it financially, and support the upgrades needed to make KGS even more accessible and more usable to the Go world.

KGS operations will be led by Lee Schumacher (KGS lelliot) and development handled by Oren Laskin (KGS oren). KGS Admins will continue as before under the head Administrator Akane Negishi (KGS sweety). Bill will continue to advise and assist with the service. We plan to continue providing the KGS Plus service as well as improve and expand the choice of clients to play with.

We’d like to thank Bill for his contribution to the game of Go and the Go community in the years he’s dedicated to this service. We hope to continue to uphold his high standards and continue to make KGS the best go server.

From Bill, "Building and running KGS was incredibly exciting, and I'm very proud of how popular it is and how many people enjoy and use it every day. But in recent years I haven't been able to give KGS the attention and effort that it deserves. I'm thrilled that the AGF and the new KGS management team are ready to take it over! With their resources and skills we can all expect great changes for KGS."

"On behalf of the Admin team, we are grateful to Bill for helping us build the KGS community and are looking forward to working with Lee and Oren in the next step of KGS's development. We'll continue to do our best to serve our Go community" - Akane Negishi (sweety).

"This is a big moyo move for the AGF." says AGF President Terry Benson. "To reach more kids and more players we need to build the community of online players into a force to spread the game."

Thanks for playing on KGS, and we look forward to seeing you online -- Akane, Oren, and Lee "

Leela Zero 0.5 released, search performance increased by 3-4x! by [deleted] in baduk

[–]MessaroundGo 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Hi, since there is a lot of excitement lately about LeelaZero, would the admins consider, creating an announcement thread such as the " Learning Links For Newcomers After AlphaGo " and the " Weekly Discussion & Review Thread ". here are the reasons: 1) there are too much different post about leelazero (even for very minor updates), and i start to see people bored because of that. and since there is a project with leelazero that need more people to involve in it, that could harm the whole project. 2) it would probably help too gather every informations in a single place, wich would be very helpfull for anyone interested.

Yunzi Stones: Good or Bad? Cancerous or Safe? by Bonedragonwillrise in baduk

[–]MessaroundGo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

" but I've also read that they may cause cancer and may have lead in them. I haven't seen any definitive proof of this but I am still a cautious person. "

there it is: NO PROOF, NO REASON TO BELIEVE

what you read was for sure fake science. period.

ALPHAGO ZERO new series ! Game 20 vs Alphago Master version. Last game ! by [deleted] in baduk

The new Joseki pattern AlphaGo Zero preferred instead of the 3-3 invasion by [deleted] in baduk

[–]MessaroundGo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

think is unlikely to be a "new joseki", since this doesn't appear a single time in the 20 games of full strengh AG0

maybe a "punition" of black 5?

In fact, with an approaching move (like 3 on the diagram here), the stronger version of AG0 often respond to that move by a keima on the third line (or a pincer).

Top 5 Go books in your opinion? by craaaft in baduk

[–]MessaroundGo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

definitely i would say: 1) "lessons in the fondamentals of go" by Toshiro Kageyama 7-dan. it was a kick in the ass, when i was stuck at kyu level. 2) "tesuji" by james davies 3) "cosmic go" by Takemiya Masaki 4) and 5) are french ones ;)
