SHIN JINSEO BEATS THE BEST AI 2-1 OVER 3 MATCHES

"Lee SeDol said he would..."

SmartGo is currebtly analyzing the three files that I could pick up on the internet. I'm hoping to get the best out of this, but even if SmartGo isn't clear enough, I'll try to find a good analysis on OGS. The thing is that I haven't played a single game in so long it feels like months...

My traning with SmartGo in July 2026

Back into the WeiQi rabbithole ?

It would be lying to say that these are my first steps in WeiQi / 바둑 / Go, because I discivered this game at least more than two years ago... But even if I never made any progress and probably never ever won a real match on a 19x19 board against a human with a brain, the fascnation remains. This tool, SmartGo is rather obsolete now, for top players, but for me it is a huge database with a software engine that surpasses everything I've seen. I know about KataGo, other AIs assistants, but I don't know why, SmartGois the best for me. So I decided, since I still don't do much with my time, to get into it again, to see if it was as overwhelming as before.

The reason of getting back to this game is also that I'm having a chess overdose. And... I found five professional games in the SmartGo database that took place the day I was born (not going to give out the date), and I wanted to spend a bit of time some day to analyze them! These are the five games I am talking about:

  1. Hara Sachiko (W) VS Sasaki Tsuyoshi (B)
  2. Kang Seung Heui (W) VS Hong Kkoch'no-eul (B)
  3. Pak Chi Eun (W) VS Zhang Zhengping (B)
  4. Cho Yeong Suk (W) VS Nam Chi Hyeong (B)
  5. Kim Se Yeong (W) VS Yi Min Chin (B)
