Does anyone have data based on several thousands games that attempts to measure the effect of dynamic komi? I would like to see results that are statistically meaningful. We need to see a few thousand games played against a fixed opponent WITH dynamic komi, and then the same program without dyanmic komi playing against the same opponent with the same number of games. The number of games must be decided before the test is run, or the error margin calculation is meaningless.
As far as I can tell, nobody has yet to produce anything more than anecdotal evidence that this works. Having a person manually adjusting this after every game is completely non-sceientific, unless they are doing it in a fixed way with no decision making on their part and they are playing thousands of games (or at least enough to get statistically significant results.) I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade, but I cannot understand why no one has produced a statistically meaningful result on this subject - or if I'm wrong please point me to the paper or data and games that were played. I am genuinely interested in this since I never was able to make it work when I spent about one intense week on it. (I did not do this with handicap games, but with normal games.)
