I don't know how to use --external-joseki-engine.

Can I use it for sabaki? --external-joseki-engine.

This is using katago.

os: windows 10

Hi,

Make sure katago is setup properly first :

• Download neural net you want to use and rename as default_model.bin.gz in katago directory.
• Edit default_gtp.cfg to suit your needs. You probably want :
  allowResignation = false (don't resign)
  logToStderr = false (log to file)
  logFile = c:\path\to\katago\kata.log
  Set thinking time with maxPlayouts or maxTime

Make sure it works from windows command prompt :

> cd c:\path\to\katago
> katago.exe gtp
KataGo v1.11.0
Using Japanese rules initially, unless GTP/GUI overrides this
Initializing board with boardXSize 19 boardYSize 19
Loaded config c:\path\to\katago\default_gtp.cfg
Loaded model c:\path\to\katago\default_model.bin.gz
Model name: g170-b10c128-s1141046784-d204142634
GTP ready, beginning main protocol loop

Then you can use this for Pachi command :

c:\path\to\pachi.exe --external-joseki-engine "c:\path\to\katago\katago.exe gtp"

If you try it in windows command prompt you should see something like this :

Yes, it should work with sabaki.
