I'm also wondering this for months. One reason of this discount is that the MoGo bros running on cgos are the _big versions. By my obserbation (they are running on my pcs and both are Q6600/3GHz with different mother boards), mogo_big_4core's perallelism is around 300% (by top command), perhaps due to its heavier uct part (just my guess). >I guess this is because in the rating study mogo was mostly playing other >mogo versions.

Mogo_big_4core's winning rate against mogo_big_1core is about 60% (1641 / 2743) which corresponds only +70 ELO and current rating difference on cgos is about 40, as you wrote. According to the scaling rule of mc playouts, it should be 160 ELO (log2(3) * 100 = 158.5). >But against other programs on CGOS, there will be weaknesses common to both >fast and slow mogo, that other programs might exploit. > >Is the true scalability of mogo (against a variety of programs, or against >people) less than the rating study indicates? I believe their current ratings on cgos indicate so.
