Once you’re finished, we’re going to set up a lichess bot account. Head over to https://lichess.org/ and create a new account.

Lichess - Online Chess Server. Scala, TypeScript

> the player who committed more blunders lost 86% of the time

In some sense this is almost tautological. While finding an exact definition for a chess blunder isn't straightforward, here is one example from the Lichess UI:

https://github.com/lichess-org/lila/blob/b527746b179cdde6438...

Basically, if you make a move which decreases your winning probability more than 14% over the best move, that's a blunder. But winning probability is a nonlinear function of stockfish centipawns. A drop in 100 centipawns when you're up 15 points isn't a blunder. When the game was equal, it is.

Point is, by the time you know it's a blunder you already know something about the outcome of that move, that it swung the winning probability by more than 14%. So the analysis is kind of just measuring some function of winning probability and saying that it is highly correlated with winning probability.

If you want to improve make it your goal to play the best chess you can, not increase an arbitrary number. Watch YouTube series like John Bartholomew's "Climb the Rating Ladder" for some general insight into what you might be doing wrong. Read Irving Chernev's "Logical Chess: Move By Move" to see the thinking process of high level players. Do lots of puzzles (I like lichess.org for puzzles). And always analyze your games. When you analyze make it your goal to find at least two things you could have improved.

The easiest way to play against Stockfish is perhaps on https://lichess.org/, but it's not the only chess engine that evaluates positions with a neural network.

I like Sabaki, but there's also GoWrite, CGoban (the KGS client), and others (search for "SGF editor"). You can also review .sgf with OGS online, or with AI Sensei. KaTrain is a very good AI client that can review .sgf as well.

The easiest way to install & use KataGo is via KaTrain: https://github.com/sanderland/katrain

I bring in my laptop with KaTrain installed and ask if my opponent is down for entering in the moves as we play as reviewing after. Its fun to check out different models, analysis depths, and local areas

I run KaTrain on my older Intel Mac with no issues. The OS is older, 12.6.3 (Monterey). I use the KaTrainOSX.dmg released by the KaTrain project. How did you install KaTrain?

If you have a good computer you can run katago locally using something like katrain which makes installing it simpler and comes with options like controlling katago's strength.

If you are set on using Sabaki specifically I can't offer much advice since I don't have much experience with it, but what I can say is that I personally use Katrain to run Katago and I highly recommend it. If you want to try it out, you can just go here for the latest version as of today. Just scroll to the bottom and download "katrain.exe". It has many many very useful features - and of course will always evaluate the move that was actually played.

You can create an issue in https://github.com/sanderland/katrain/issues. The author actively resolves issues there.

I use KaTrain. It's great. https://github.com/sanderland/katrain/releases
