Larry Kaufman says go has many more levels of skill than most games. I think a fairly simple way to do this is to just measure the range of ELO ratings, going from weak beginner to top player. In Chess the ELO range for humans is about 2500 ELO give or take. In checkers it is surely much lower and I would assume in go it would be quite large. What is the range on the servers that use ELO? We could compare that to chess servers. Don > > if my memory serves go has about 40 levels and chess 16.
