[gnugo-devel] GnuGO rating on KGS

[Robert Cohen]

Bit of a nit picky question.

Is Gnu Go really getting weaker and weaker.
Ive noticed that over time its rating according to the KGS rating graphs has
been going steadily down. The graph is here
http://kgs.kiseido.com/en_US/graphPage.jsp?user=TheGNUGo

Since last Oct its rank has decreased from 9kyu to 12kyu.

I like to think that with all the work people have been doing patching it,
it should be getting better.

Of course, since releases arent exactly frequent, if they are sticking to
the stable release, it could have been the same version for that period.
But the biggest drop coincides pretty much with the 3.6 release :-(.


So is just coming up against better players.
Or was the rank inflated to start with and its just been getting more
accurate.
