In principle MoGo ought to be about a stone (or slightly more) weaker with 1/5 the processing power, which is consistent with 2-3d against Kim and 1-2d against the 6d.

I watched both games, and MoGo did seem stronger to me against Kim... but then, I knew in advance the processing power in each case.

It is true that you can't make a conclusion.. but you can draw some information from two games. I would think it is statistically unlikely that a person who is

10kyu will beat a 3dan in an even game. So far... both games have pointed to around 2dan. I would agree that you can't really know.. for example.. what if both human players didn't play seriously.. then you wouldn't gain much at all.

But then... even if there were 30 games.. the same thing could happen.

I just find it interesting that Mogo played at approximately the same strength with 1/5th the processing power. Not really a conclusion.. just an observation.
