Hi! I may remember incorrectly, but didn't your previous scalability test show that when a new player was added at the top, the previous top players' ratings got a slight boost too? Meaning that at the top (and possibly at the bottom too, but that's unimportant) the levels may be a little "squashed" by the border effect? It's very possible that the effect is negligible, but we can't know until we measure... The differences between adjacent levels look very symmetrical at the top and bottom, so a few more levels might reveal what is going on. best regards, Vlad _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
