I was under the impression that MoGo (approx 2350 CGOS) was starting to cause trouble for pro players on 9 x 9. The released Leela version is a bit stronger than the last on CGOS and uses all CPUs, so "high dan level" was supposed to be a reasonable estimate. If someone has factual data[*] about 9 x 9 performance of current bots I'll gladly revise the estimate on the webpage on my own. [*] factual data is not: "I feel it's about 1kyu". Or "I played a few games and it sucks in life & death. I had to take back a move because I wasn't really concentrated but I beat it easily. Must be less than 2 dan strength". One of the best things I found was a report from a 6 dan that he won a match 5-2 against an older version of MoGo. That puts MoGo at about 4 to 5 dan. I don't think what I said is unreasonable, unless a 5 dan is not considered "high dan level". Arguing about this feels like a waste of time anyway. At the last KGS tournament people were arguing that Crazy Stone is overrated because "it can't be 1k". The last time I saw this was when "dan" was called "grandmaster". -- GCP _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
