Hi all, it is well known that gnubg judges the players harder than snowie. Snowie error rates seems to be defacto standard when judging players. To see how gnubg and snowie error rates compare I tried downloading 25 or so matches from Hardye's site, all played between more or less world class players and most of them quite long. They were analysed using gnubg 2ply/2ply.
To summarise: snowie_m snowie_c snowie gnubg_m gnubg_c gnubg 3.91 1.66 5.58 9.36 21.51 11.25 So given these numbers I suggest that we adapt snowie's rate/rating groupings, but that we divide the gnubg move-error and total-error rates with 2 and the cube error rate by 4. That way it will be easy for people to understand the numbers and to compare an intermediate snowie player to an intermediate gnubg player. Of course the move ratings and the total ratings of gnubg will not be directly comparable. But it will complicate things unnecessary to make it any different. The ratios, if not the numbers is supported by some 400 3 point matches and a few moneygames I have played on TMG. Christian.
