Top Improvements to OGS in 2019?

[Shusaku_the_Gentle]

We’re getting close to the end of 2019 … I’ve only returned to OGS in the last month. I’m wondering what were the biggest improvements to the site this year (so far)?

The biggest thing that comes to mind is @Eugene’s Joseki Explorer

OGS Joseki Dictionary Charter

As we start to discuss “how should things be done” with the potential “OGS Joseki Dictionary”, I’ve realised that these discussions and decisions need to be based on the right sense of “what are we trying to achieve”. So here’s a draft “Charter” that ought to guide decisions and discussions. The goal of the OGS Joseki Dictionary is to provide a well curated catalog of corner sequences of play that are credibly established to be among the best that you can do for the local situation (“joseki”)…

Notable mentions also include:

@Flovo’s chat shortcuts
@RubyMineshaft’s improvements to game history

and my upgrade to auto adance

There were countless other improvements, probably some more notable than those I’ve mentioned, but these immediately came to mind

Also, expected very soon (in the next week or two, I believe) is @anoek’s upgrade of our AI from LeelaZero to KataGo, which will afford us numerous possibilities moving into the future to upgrade our score estimation and auto-score features.

Automatic AI reviews probably should be at the top of the list.

Was that this year? sorry anoek! It 100% should be on top of the list indeed!

Automatic AI reviews were enough to make me become a site supporter!

The joseki explorer is fantastic. So are the other improvements, really great work everyone!
