5:51 yqxud i was viewing your joseki viewwer and i found it did not have many standard continuations particularly for 5-4 low intrusion – even if kata doesn't like it id like to have it there as it is popular.
23:17 hexanna I didn't want to inject my opinions of which lines were important or not. that's katahex's gentle nudge to not play those standard continuations, I guess
23:35 yqxud I find it fascinating since often katahex says those are good, maybe the rest of the board often just happens to be in a state where the standard moves are best.

2:59 inaccessibles hmmm now i realize why it is good for blue to make these two intrusions in the north corner
2:59 inaccessibles it seems like blue is winning bc blue has a lot of space while red put their stones in a line which is ineffective
12:50 hexanna red is doing just fine here, those red stones near blue's edge are an efficient use of moves
13:26 yqxud Those intrusions are good because katahex likes them, and also because it’s a 2nd and 3rd row ladder escape,

2:14 yqxud Sometimes I don’t have the heart to play out these games, if I lose in the opening there’s still hundreds of moves to go

20:13 yqxud Your kata evaluation for 11x11 and 12x12 seem to show a huge blue advantage, what percentage do you think qualifies as a fair opening move for humans?
20:15 hexanna that is because katahex can play nearly perfectly on those sizes. I think stone-fraction space is better for quantifying fairness, and anything between 0.4-0.6 stones is fair
20:15 hexanna that is what's used for https://www.hexwiki.net/index.php/Swap_rule#Size_15 sizes 15 and 19
20:20 yqxud When did you decide to stop? Did you set katahex at a certain depth or just let it evaluate
20:22 hexanna there's a max depth of 11 moves, but some moves are cutoff earlier if they are less "important" (contain more suboptimal moves). I wanted to make it bigger, but it becomes too much data to load on the website
