I like the idea of using Bayesian ELO ratings instead. They should
adapt better and faster. It would give better rank confidence than the
current k factor. For example, kartofel would have kept a low
confidence.

First, thank you very much, Don, for giving us a reliable 19x19
server.
Please consider increasing the time a program stays on the list
until it
ages off. I guess you drop programs from the ratings page after
some time
that depends on the number of games they have played. Since 19x19
games
take 4 times longs, it seems you should allow four times as much
time to age
off the list, for the same number of games. I like seeing the top
program's
results a little longer.
It would be nice if a program can get into position more quickly.
Since the
games take longer, it can take several days to climb up from the
initial
1200 to 2000, especially if there is an early loos. Does it make
sense to
set the initial k value a little higher, or to set the initial
rating to
1500 instead of 1200?
