[gnugo-devel] twogtp question

[Douglas Ridgway]

As a test, I wanted to run a total of 30 games of level 1 vs. level 10, 
each side getting black half the time. Here are my command lines:

perl twogtp --black '/usr/local/bin/gnugo --mode gtp --quiet --level 1' 
--white '/usr/local/bin/gnugo --mode gtp --quiet --level 10' --games 15 
--sgffile /d/tmp/gg/level1black --komi 6.5

perl twogtp --white '/usr/local/bin/gnugo --mode
gtp --quiet --level 1' --black '/usr/local/bin/gnugo --mode gtp --quiet 
--level
10' --games 15 --sgffile /d/tmp/gg/level1white --komi 6.5

Here are the results:

          Level
        1       10
White   4       4
Black  11      11

According to this, level 10 can't beat level 1, but GnuGo plays stronger 
as black. Am I doing something wrong? Is the level maybe not getting set 
correctly, or does it just not improve things much?

Thanks!
