This are my conclusions after running several bots on CGOS:

   * 1000 games per level
         o L1 :: 1698
         o L10 :: 1813
   * 8000 games per level
         o L1 :: 1777
         o L10 :: 1938
   * 10.000 games per level
         o L1 :: 1736
         o L10 :: 1827

I don't know why the games at 10k games per level are weaker than the 
ones at 8k.
Maybe it is because with the 10k-ones, I didn't rebuild gnugo with 
MAX_BOARD 9.
