It would reduce Alphago, because there is less training material in the form of high-dan-games, to train the policy network.

It would also reduce the skill of a human opponent, because (s)he would have less experience on a larger board, just as AlphaGo.

It would be fun to see which can adapt better.

human would adapt quickly after a few games (say 10 or so).

thanks

    i think a human would also.

           The CNN would require many more layers of convolution;
        the valuation of positions would be much more uncertain; play
        in the
        corner, edges, and center would all be more complicated
        patterns, and
        there would be far more good candidates to consider at each
        ply and
        rollouts would be much less stable and less accurate.

    yes.

    the normal board size is 19x19 because the amount of territory in
    the sides and corners is slightly larger than the amount of
    territory in the middle.

    thanks
