This is the Windows app named DarkForestGo whose latest release can be downloaded as darkforestGosourcecode.tar.gz. It can be run online in the free hosting provider OnWorks for workstations.
Download and run online this app named DarkForestGo with OnWorks for free.
Follow these instructions in order to run this app:
- 1. Downloaded this application in your PC.
- 2. Enter in our file manager https://www.onworks.net/myfiles.php?username=XXXXX with the username that you want.
- 3. Upload this application in such filemanager.
- 4. Start any OS OnWorks online emulator from this website, but better Windows online emulator.
- 5. From the OnWorks Windows OS you have just started, goto our file manager https://www.onworks.net/myfiles.php?username=XXXXX with the username that you want.
- 6. Download the application and install it.
- 7. Download Wine from your Linux distributions software repositories. Once installed, you can then double-click the app to run them with Wine. You can also try PlayOnLinux, a fancy interface over Wine that will help you install popular Windows programs and games.
Wine is a way to run Windows software on Linux, but with no Windows required. Wine is an open-source Windows compatibility layer that can run Windows programs directly on any Linux desktop. Essentially, Wine is trying to re-implement enough of Windows from scratch so that it can run all those Windows applications without actually needing Windows.

DarkForestGo
DESCRIPTION
darkforestGo is an early deep-reinforcement-learning Go engine that combined a convolutional policy/value network with Monte Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) to play the full 19×19 game at a strong amateur level. The system couples fast GPU policy inference with CPU or GPU-assisted tree search so priors from the network guide exploration while search refines local tactics. Training pipelines mix supervised learning from human professional games and self-play fine-tuning, allowing the model to learn opening patterns and endgame tactics beyond simple pattern libraries. The codebase includes tools for parsing classic Go formats, generating training examples, and evaluating models on standard test suites and online servers. A KGS/online client and match runner make it practical to stage controlled tournaments or continuous rating evaluation. Although later projects (like ELF OpenGo) surpassed it in strength, darkforestGo remains a historically important, clean reference for neural-MCTS Go systems.
