>"exactly the same code that was ranked" This is not a reasonable requirement.
Ratings are a crude tool; it's not worthwhile to try to nail them down beyond a rough range. Certainly there will be occasions where programs true ratings slip due to "improvements" in the software, or improvements in their opponents' understanding of their weaknesses. Humans get "code" upgrades and downgrades all the time, it's called learning. You just take it on faith that the human is still more or less the same from one day to the next. The same should apply to programs. _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
