would it make sense to treat players with handicap as completely different players? For example, GNU Go giving one handicap stone would be a different player and get a rating independent of GNU Go in an even game?
Then there is no problem about how to shoehorn handicap into the ELO system. It would also be more visible how much different programs can take advantage of getting a handicap stone. - Markus _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
