oiseaux morts 1994 posted:My only reasoning for a new thread is I too think Ask Tell is a bizarre place for the thread and the OP is not really attractive to newcomers. But yeah I guess nobody cares so gently caress it. I might just do a GBS recruitment thread anyway and link here and whatever happens happens You should do that if it's moved to TGD as well. Nothing aids TG stuff more than GBS recruitment, if only to let people know that a thread exists. Check with a mod before doing so, though.

zhuangcg posted:I'm sorry that I confused you with my usage of the term novice; it is so much harder to understand than the acronym DDK, which practically explodes with meaning in comparison. You're, of course, correct my feeble attempts at conversation are clearly meaningless and a lowly acronym such as myself has no business attempting to speak GO with grey-haired eminences such as yourself. I'm so sorry that I wasted your valuable time with my meaningless utterances. Please have a wonderful day and thank you once again for your extremely helpful critique of my "plays". This, by the way, is a lovely post. He was not criticizing you, and novice can be a large spread since it's very subjective.

zhuangcg posted:As I stated in my earlier posts, I am a novice or a beginner and I fully expect to make mistakes and by publishing those mistakes in a public forum I will naturally embarrass myself to some extent. But dismissing my words as meaningless is a criticism and then asking me to agree to being some jargon-y acronym which means nothing to me is a further twist of the rhetorical knife and is clearly meant to belittle or demean. Saying your move is nonsense is a criticism of your play, not of you. DDK = double digit kyu, i.e. in the first twenty levels of rank (30 down to 10).

It's kind of insane, with world leaders settling every via super powered mahjong matches and I think I remember there are Nazis on a moon base. Oh yeah actually that's right. The other mah jongg animes are more familiar to me. And the Shogi one. Which has an actual, coherent storyline to it.

So ElyGo is this android app that actually works on my 1st gen kindle fire. It connects to IGS. Is IGS okay? Awful? It's got an AI and a bunch of tsumego, so it's worth the free amazon coins I've been getting, but I'm just wondering if IGS is worth playing on.

I have no answers, but I *love* the question because it in itself tells me what things I should be thinking about at all times. In other words, can't wait for responses.  Okay I lied. From what is probably a 30k, my gut is that the stone is still not trivially dead and therefore probably play somewhere in the lower left to stop white from gaining much territory quickly.

Again, remember that I'm not speaking from actually having good reasoning for anything, but instinct would be another extension to F3/G3, no need for an invasion while white is tied up trying to capture in the top left.

Yes, and you can totally use your knights to jump over; no other pieces. You should play xiangqi with him, the cannons must capture by jumping over! But yeah there's tons of chess problems, mostly "mate in x" or "win the piece!" for the simpler ones. Lots of newspapers have a one-per-day sort of thing, and obviously there's plenty of books and just googling "chess problems online".

AdorableStar posted:IMO Shogi is a lot cooler than Chess because you can drop pieces back onto the battlefield. Agreed, and I grew up on chess. Shogi is fabulous, everyone should learn it. Mating nets become so loving cool with pieces in hand, and cracking a well built castle is a beautiful thing. Plus, all out attacks resulting in just barely failing to mate resulting in an all out attack on the other side can lead to amazing defenses, too.

uranus posted:hmm shogi seems cool. but i have a feeling its going to be even worse than go in regards of anyone knowing wtf it is ever. This is entirely true, yeah. I got a friend to learn it with me and we're both pretty solidly equal, and I found someone at a con who plays both go and shogi. That's...kinda it, though! You can play online. Or found a shogi club, start a movement! (that movement being climbing silver, of course)

PrBacterio posted:A non-quantum computer is never going to be able to brute-force solve Go, I'm guessing (I didn't actually make the calculation, but what with factorial growth it's a pretty safe guess) the number of possible combinations in Go is probably larger by several orders of magnitude than even the number of atoms or even whichever kind of subatomic particle you care to name times the age of the universe divided by the Planck time. A quantum computer of sufficient size might in theory be able to do it by considering all the possibilities in parallel at once but I'm not sure it'll ever be possible to build such a thing, and if it was we'd have a whole bunch of other problems to worry about than solving Go like the fact that at that point you could break any possible encryption scheme that's ever been devised and it would quite literally be an oracle with which you could divine the future. What about NTRU? I feel like that wasn't breakable using quantum, per se... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTRU#Resistance_to_quantum-computer-based_attacks

PrBacterio posted:Yeah I admit I was getting a bit hyperbolic there towards the end there in my attempt to stress the fact to what degree a functioning large-scale quantum computer would basically be the computing equivalent of a nuclear bomb to the existing information processing infrastructure we have right now, and it's not like such an advance would just come about all of a sudden and out of the blue with no advance warning or time to prepare for it. But my basic point that's relevant to this thread was just that the number of possible combinations in Go is far too great for it to ever be possible to find a complete, exhaustive solution with a classical computer, no matter how large. I was only plugging NTRU cause lattices are awesome, no worries.

(I found a 2012–2013 Traditional Games mahjong thread.) Haha. Yeah tenhou is pretty great, though I found an app I can play offline on my tablet. Riichi is amazing, the feeling of slamming down the tiles is almost akin to go, live.

I don't have time, and the only times I've played in person either I'm playing a 5k or something (and get completely destroyed with 9 stones handicap) or I'm playing a rank novice (even moreso than me) and I crush them in detail. I should really play online. But then it's hard to find anyone playing at that level, usually, it just waits for opponents forever.
