Could this means that the perfect play is along the line of 0.5 point win? It may well be, considering MoGo can surprise a 6 dan on 9x9. It could be that a large numbers of games that are perfect or near perfect are centered along the 0.5 point win. If one increase the komi by one point, basically all these games are ruled out. They can still be considered only because the scoring error. But the probability becomes smaller.

From games played on CGOS what is the correct komi? > > Daniel Liu It's not possible to figure this because most of the programs on CGOS use the Monte Carlo approach and the komi affects the way they play. So you cannot, for instance, calculate what the score would be assuming a different komi - you would find a lot of losses because in reality programs like Mogo or Lazarus and many others are concerned only with winning, not the margin of victory. Nevertheless, the number of white vs black wins is extremely close on CGOS. I could get an actual calculation if you want, but many months ago I did a breakdown by rating and found that the higher rated the players, the closer the statistic to 50/50. You can find this on some old post somewhere. It might be difficult to find it. - Don > > > > ______________________________________________________________________ > AOL now offers free email to everyone.
