Hi Nick, A comment about your remark at the end of the report regarding the winning chances of white: I don't think you should count all games; uneven games (where one side is much stronger) are almost meaningless. But maybe you didn't do that either (because I don't see how you got to 41-39 from 20 rounds with 8 games per round), but then please tell us where you drew the line.
I did a quick count for games between programs finishing in the top 5. If I count correctly this comes to White: 13, Black: 6 Somehow I feel that these kgs tournaments are for an important part decided by the kgs paring algorithm. It's annoying; the olympiad has become a hardware contest and the kgs tournaments a lottery. Hardly any good tournaments left. (Ok, maybe I'm exaggerating a bit, it's still fun to watch :-)) Best, Erik On Mon, Sep 6, 2010 at 10:34 PM, Nick Wedd <[email protected]> wrote: > Congratulations to Erica, winner of yesterday's KGS bot tournament. > > My report is at http://www.weddslist.com/kgs/past/63/index.html.
