In playing SlugGo against Many Faces I am quite struck by how
easy it is to get fooled by small sets of data. I am left with the 
feeling
that computer Go tournaments are not really a good measure of
the program's relative strengths, just because so few games are
played.

More SlugGo v.s. MFG data will be posted "real soon."
