[gnugo-devel] Board size and relative ranking

[Shug Boabby]

hi everyone,

there doesn't appear to be a user's mailing list, so i guess i'll  
just ask here if that's ok.

how does gnugo scale in terms of board size and relative rank? would  
it, for example, play at a higher ranking for smaller boards? (i  
realise that ranking can only occur for full size boards which is why  
i say relative)

and also, i realise that ranking gnugo in the first place is a loaded  
question... but is there any way to find out what it's "rank" is for  
a given difficulty setting? when its rank is quoted, i take it that  
is at the highest setting? are there robots out there using various  
difficulty settings?

i refer to the stable version, but if anyone has an answer for the  
devel version, that would also be helpful!
