Statistics

[ext] KgsStatistics by rosswerner

An open-source Java application that downloads archives from KGS and displays various aggregate statistics.

[ext] KGS Statistics by joncol[1] (2008/09/22: no longer available?)

A nice web-based script, providing a basic overview about a player's recent performance.[1]

[ext] KGSAccountant by [ext] Matthew Hershberger(aka Ceiter) (broken link?)

This cute little tool allows to display, filter and graphically evaluate a player's performance in detail, based on the [ext] KGS Archives. Version 1.8 properly supports the new KGS3 archives site.
(available as binaries for Mac OS X and for Windows)

[ext] KGS Analytics by kazuhiro

A web page giving an aggregate view of a player's statistics.

File Beautifying

If you ever have attended a game of any popular high-ranked player at KGS, you probably know what I mean: such games use to be very noisy. Even though the following tools cannot filter the chatter in ongoing games (because CGoban2 is not designed to interact with other applications that way), they convert messy sgf files with myriads of comments into something conveniently readable.

(Broken since the update of the server to kgs3)

blubb: Thanks for the pointer. I`ll check the new format and possibly update KibitzCleaner soon.

CommentFilter by Chris Goldsmith

Filters comments based on rank and/or nickname.
(Perl script)

[ext] KibitzCleaner by Blubb Fallo

Does the same as CommentFilter, moreover allows to set the rank limit automatically to the black players' rank.
(Python script)

Suggestion for enhanced 'KGS Archive' query fields

KGS itself doesn't yet provide a search window in KGS 'Archive' where you can search several parameters at once.
(you only can search by name there and only afterwards by date)

Î do see a need for a search window in KGS Archive with the following input parameters:

  • strength: (e.g. 6-9dan)
  • date: (absolute & relative, e.g. last day, week, month etc.)
  • & vice versa for the opponent.

To make it complete, you would like to have more:

  • handicap
  • quality of win: points, resignation, on time
  • unfinished games: (escapers)
  • UNDOs

The best I could find until now, is this script here: <[ext] http://lublin.se/kgsstats/stats.php> (sorry - only blank page).
Joncol, who wrote it, could easily adapt it to those specifications above. (tderz)
