Ok, when three people all tell me that I am jumping to conclusions, I am willing to believe that, and wait for more data. It is coming in at a good speed, even with the new strong (and slow) Mogos... But if my guess holds, I was the first to notice it (or at least to point it out on this list)! > Interestingly the column of opponent rating indicate that many of the > programs has played against harder or weaker opposition than expected, > meaning that a lot of games played might have had a very predictable > outcome.

The strongest program can only play weaker opponents, and weakest one can only play stronger ones. The programs near the top are still likely to meet weaker opponents (and vice versa). Still, that is one possible explanation for the change I see in the curves. -H -- Heikki Levanto "In Murphy We Turst" heikki (at) lsd (dot) dk _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
