What's your favorite AI sparring partner (in a computer strategy game)?

1 pointscorecard3 comments

The open source clones of Alpha Go are my favorite AI sparring partners. There are several to choose from, and also several Go board applications.

My favorite open source Alpha Go clone is Katago https://github.com/lightvector/KataGo.

There are several different open source Go board/sgf editor applications on which to run Katago; I use several.

KaTrain is my favorite: https://github.com/sanderland/katrain

I also use sabaki: https://github.com/SabakiHQ/Sabaki/releases

and q5Go: https://github.com/bernds/q5Go

for batch review of Go games goreviewpartner is good: https://github.com/pnprog/goreviewpartner

Alpha Go has generated a lot of activity in the weiqi community! I guess that's what happens when your AI beats the world champion in a match viewed by 60 million people (in China alone).

For chess I like nibbler, which uses an open source version of Alpha Zero, Leela Chess Zero: https://github.com/fohristiwhirl/nibbler
