I was in Japan for a year in 1990. I was 1k - 1d EGF at that time and i was 4d in Japan. I think the grade difference between EGF and Japan is more like 3 grades than 2 grades. I also participated in a Japan-Netherlands friendship match by the Japanese Embassy in Holland. We played against Japanese players with full handicap but our grades were increased by 3. At that time I was a 3d EFG but I had to give handicap as a 6d Japanese. The match was won by Holland with big numbers even with the 3 grades correction. Also, a 4p is not a 7p. The difference should be about one stone. 4p is equivalent to 8d EGF. So i would say winning with seven stones against a 4p suggests that Crazy stone is about 1d - 2d. This is similar to the result achieved by Mogo. Dave

Crazy stone 2. Fudogo (?) (Hideki Kato's program) 3. Many Faces 4. Katsunari (Mogo had time trouble and pulled out?) Crazy stone then played against Kaori Aoba, 4p, at a 7-stone handicap and won by resignation. Making crazy stone 4 or 5 dan, by Japanese standards. Maybe 2-3 dan European? Can anyone post more information? What hardware was Crazy Stone running on?
