not to put too fine a point on it, but "estimating dan ranks" via 9x9 games is a bit silly. it doesn't actually capture any extra information about the program, since there's no such thing as a 9x9 rank to compare with/against, much less a dan rank.
I don't claim that this "9x9 CGOS rank" will be equal to ranks on 19x19. But it should work the other way round. If several "human ranked players" played on CGOS and established an ELO rating we would have a good estimate of how strong GGOS ratings are.
