Of course the ELO numbers are arbitrary. I assigned GnuGo 3.7.9 a level of 2000 but on CGOS it is 1800. But CGOS numbers are arbitrary too. If you can estimate the ELO rating of GnuGo 3.7.9 compared to say a 1 Dan player, then you can estimate the winning percentages of any version against a human of a given strength. Mogo of course is about 200-300 higher at the same levels. So I believe that if special purpose hardware could bump MoGo up a few times faster, you would really would have a professional strength 9x9 player. It might be easier to do this with a lite play-out version if you can get substantially more speed, say 4X faster due to the much simpler move logic. I don't know hardware, but it could be easier (more opportunities for parallelism to do it with a heavy version.) - Don _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
