I would love to see a well organized, attempt to prove or disprove that programs have reached just 1 Dan level in 19x19. To be convincing I think you would need to have a few players with solid 1 Dan ratings each play a series of games against the target program on the target platform. Of course one would have to define which rating system is used in addition. Furthermore, the players would have to be significantly motivated to win. such as serious bucks for each game they win and nothing for a loss.
By the way, I absolutely cringe when the reason why a player lost a game is "because they were experimenting", or "they made a mistake" as was reported with the Mogo match. Isn't that normally a given? I cannot tell from the wording if Mogo is apologizing for winning and feel that the game should not be counted, or whether they are just making a rather mundane statement of fact. - Don > > Christoph > > > > _______________________________________________ > computer-go mailing list > computer-go@computer-go.org > http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/ > _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
