In pretty much all of my original dynamic komi mails, I have pointed at
the presentation I've sent here earlier - if you have reservations
against that, I'll be happy to hear about them; the paper I'm preparing
should be ready in couple of weeks.
For extra convenience, here is the graph from the presentation,
including 95% error bars; I'm sorry, I don't have data about exact
numbers of games anymore. The y-axis is winrate against GNUGo Level10.
