Shusaku Study Project

   

The Shusaku Study Project (SSP) is a crowdsourced initiative to create free, public domain written commentaries of all the games of Shusaku, beginning with his earliest and proceeding in chronological order.

It was started in May 2022, by streamer and youtuber Trevoke, its principal organiser, and includes Trevoke's teacher Frozensoul. Trevoke has been reviewing classical games on his stream, sometimes with Frozensoul, since early 2021 (?). He's so far covered all the games of Dosaku and Huang Longshi.

Contributors of SDK level and stronger are desired.

The SSP passes each game through a number of successive phases.

  • 1. Review with KataGo, at "enough visits (10-20k visits per board position, probably)"
  • 2. Focus on positional judgement
  • 2.5. Synthesis
  • 3. Focus on direction of play
  • 3.5. Synthesis
  • 4. Focus on reading
  • 5. Synthesis of the whole commentary by Trevoke. He often does this on stream.
  • 6. Publication on Trevoke's stream
  • 7. Storage on Youtube

Organisation of the Project takes place on Trevoke's Discord server, Trevtonic plates, in the Shusaku Study Project channel group.
