Yes, I think so. At least when considering only those who have played lots of games against lots of opponents. > I imagine that the most significant intransitivity would be would be in > relation to the bots (principally GnuGo?), because some players have played > dozens (maybe hundreds) of games against these bots and their playing style > is likely to have been modified by the experience. True. Another effect that might appear is if part of the players are developing in skill and at the same time switching to stronger opponents. Or perhaps some are better in changing their style (risk level) according to opponent strength. Maybe CGOS data would be the best: lots of games between a limited number of stable players.
