Re: [gnugo-devel] --print-levels and measurably stronger?

[Yllman, Jens]

Hi,

Just a comment on strength. It does not really show anything other then
GNU Go strength against GNU Go. But I played 100 games between GNU Go
3.8 lvl 10 and GNU Go 3.8 lvl 12 and actually lvl 10 won 52 against lvl
12 48. I have not analyzed any of the games. Both played black 50 times.
