your calculation is for mogo to beat kim, according to kim and the mogo team's estimates. i think that a better thing to measure would be for a computer program to be able to regularly beat amateurs of any rank without handicap. i.e. to effectively be at the pro level. for one thing, this is easi

Thanks for posting the game Eric. When I look back at it it's obvious to me S1 was much better. After the likely sequence of R1, T3, T2, T4, S7, Q1, R7 Black still has a serious weakness at N4. I also still question W's play in the upper-right. I doubt W S15 was a good move and think S19
