How about leaving gnugo 10 at 1800 and let gungo level 0 float for a while. See what rating gnugo level 0 gets, then lock it there as an anchor. If these two programs aren't 600 points apart and you anchor them that way it will prevent the rating system from stabilizing. David -Original

NO, it's because gnugo got stronger with longer time limits. When the time limit got longer Many Faces started taking 1 minute instead of 5 minutes, so there may be a bug in Many Faces GTP interface time control. DAvid -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL

Because gnugo has time control and when time is short it adjusts the level down between moves. I think with th 30 minute control it is staying at level 10 the whole game. I just found a time control bug in Many Faces, and it's been playing at level 3. It should get stronger soon :)
