At the recent US Go Congress in Portland I had a few conversations
with AGA Ratings Statistician Paul Matthews. While the conversations
were centered upon the difficulties of rating Go playing computer
programs, it came out at one point that there had been a very long and
heated argument in
I'm not surprised that the data for games with 90% winning chances is lacking.
The McMahon pairing system is widely used in western go tournaments to prevent
mismatched games,
because most players don't like mismatched games (either as the stronger or the
weaker player).

kgs-time_settings is much easier to interpret. KGS will send

use opponent's time would that be true. any other combination

Here is something interesting from this page:
Note how different the expectations of each system are regarding even
games between players of unequal strength. If you can win 90% of even
games against a 2 kyu player, the AGA believes you are 1.33 ranks
higher, the EGF believes you are 2.42 ranks hi

In such a case, I think it's better for the human not to have a time

This page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Go_ranks_and_ratings gives a table of
win probabilities versus rank differences.
I haven't yet found such a table for handicap games.

By the way, most bots on KGS resign lost games. So most people who lose
on time are usually in a lost position themselves.
There are exceptions with difficult L&D situations, but really, I expect
almost nothing to happen to the bots ratin

in fact, if you made a betting game out of it, and formed a pool
that would go to anyone willing to take the challenge, i think
that you'd find that the ratio of dollars "against" to dollars "for"
would be a fairly accurate depiction of the strength increase over

1d (amateur) is a kind of holy grail for amateurs, because
it separates fairly serious players from people just messing
around, so seeing a program at that level on a 19x19 board at
reasonable (non-blitz) time controls is quite impressive.
1p is generally stronger than all but a small handful of
