My guess is that this is a combination of some intransitivity and low sample size. 100 games isn't very much data in the CS vs MFGO.
As far as intransivity, perhaps Crazy Stone has some particular strength that works very well against a weakness in MFGO. The values do not make a great deal of sense, but there are a lot of unknown parameters too, such as which levels are being played by each program. Perhaps we are not comparing apples to apples? - Don David Fotland wrote: > The styles of CS (CS-9-17-10k-1CPU), MFGO (mfgo12exp-15), and GNUGO > (gnugo3.7.10_10) are different, and it's generating some odd results. > > Many Faces beats GnuGo 70%.
