I'm not sure what options are available for tournament setup, but assuming we can enter skill levels manually...
I think it would be hard to pick perfect ratings, but I bet it wouldn't be too difficult to generate a guess at ELO/kyu levels based on past performance. Inputting something like ELO/2 (or similar fractional ELO) might be a good way to start out without giving too much handicap. Future tournaments could then be based on how well that works out.

The first obvious question is then: how will you determine the handicaps? As to the "large gaps in strength": the actual rating of Zen is 1 stone above abakus, which is 1 stone above HiraBot. That seems to conflict with your classification. I am not sure it's possible to draw these conclusions by observing <= 3 games from every matchup. -- GCP _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list Computer-go@computer-go.org http://computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
