That's a lot of mistakes Rin thinks the top pros are making.
I think it's conceivable that Rin Kaiho makes a mistake (in god's
eyes) nearly every move that is not obviously forced. I'd be surprised
if it's less than a few dozen in a game. Still, maybe the difference
could be 4 stones.
Another way to look at it - if you ask a pro about the best move in some
sufficiently open position (e.g. around the end of fuseki), he will
suggest the best move... or two, or three. Another pro might likely have
another preference (to which the first pro will comment "yes, that is
also possible" :-). I do not think it is likely all these possible moves
will actually have _precisely_ the same value.
I am running a test with a player of professional strength to guess the next
move in professional games, all after 100 moves have been played. After
running about 200 positions the average is about 4.4 guesses. This does not
tell the distance to optimal play but it tells something.
