ah I see. I ran some tests and here is what I got: Komi=7.5 P(Black wins)=41.4%
Komi=6.5 P(Black wins)=44.5% Komi=5.5 P(Black wins)=44.1% Komi=4.5 P(Black wins)=46.7% Komi=3.5 P(Black wins)=47.0% Komi=2.5 P(Black wins)=49.7% Komi=2.0 P(Black wins)=49.7% Komi=1.5 P(Black wins)=49.6% Komi=1.0 P(Black wins)=49.6% Komi=0.5 P(Black wins)=52.4% Black wins on average by 2 points (without komi). So for these random games a komi of 2.5 seems reasonable. Can someone also run the same experiments? -----Original Message----- From: Heikki Levanto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Dmitry Kamenetsky <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: Wed, 21 Feb 2007 15:13:13 +0100 Subject: Re: [computer-go] Library of Effective GO routines v 0.106 > > On Wed, Feb 21, 2007 at 05:01:56PM +0300, Dmitry Kamenetsky wrote: > > > > If Black is the first player then why is he winning so little?
