fishnet VS online-go.com

> The problem is that a stockfish based bot knows some very strong moves, but deliberately plays bad moves so it’s about the right skill level.

What are you basing this on? To me it seems like difficulty is set by limiting search depth/time: https://github.com/lichess-org/fishnet/blob/master/src/api.r...

The LiChess documentation indicates how many nodes are searched: https://github.com/lichess-org/fishnet/blob/master/doc/protocol.md

The eval graph comes from an analysis done by fishnet. The analysis that you see changing is done locally in the browser on your device. That is why there is a difference.

YOU can help by running this: https://github.com/lichess-org/fishnet

Game analyses are made in a distributed way, but only accepted from users they trust. You can check the tool they use for that here and they instructions to use it.

It's not on the user's device and not on their servers. The game analysis is done by fishnet using donated CPU time.

You can run a program on your computer, so that Lichess can run Stockfish analysis using your CPU https://github.com/lichess-org/fishnet

OGS is the closest thing I’ve found to lichess but it’s quite good! https://online-go.com/

That's nuts. I'll be honest online-go.com is my least favorite server to play on. Unfortunately it's one of the only ones that doesn't require software installation so it's easy to recommend to new players.

In 2016, I thought I'd give up on playing Go, seeing that our tree searching overlords beat us in every which way. Funny thing is, I'm playing a game right now [1].

Hey guys, I own Gomoku.com domain and the site (currently down) very similar to https://online-go.com/ I no longer have the time to maintain or try to grow it, if anyone is interested taking it over let me know!

and also, https://online-go.com (OGS) is the best English server for playing online and getting a rank.

https://online-go.com/ is the most popular English server, called OGS. It's pretty good.

OGS (https://online-go.com)

OGS is open source, anyone can contribute to their github repository and it's in need of developers - almost 200 open issues. It's likely easier to gain traction and more beneficial to the go community compared to starting from scratch.

OGS probably has the largest pool of English-speaking beginners. https://online-go.com/ It's a web app, so it's very easy to get signed up and playing.

Also, I'd suggest trying to switch to human players pretty soon (online-go.com is the place to be for that), AIs and weak AIs will play with a lot of strange and bad moves, and playing against too many of them might give you bad habits.
