I concur with Christian Nilsson; handicap stones permit the win-loss ratio to
approximate 50%, where it is more sensitive to improvements. As one tweaks the
program, the progress would be measurable within a few games, one's handicap
would decrease.
Is it possible to tie together the handicap information and the win-loss
percentages into a unified ELO-type score? Would an experiment be needed to
measure the effect of handicap stones on the probability of winning?
