GNUGo Levels and kyu

Post by tasendir »

Hello, Exists a table between the levels of GnuGo and kyu (approximately of course)?

By my understanding, this really depends on the computer that is running gnugo, as a faster computer will be able to compute more positions in a given period of time.

So the level an amount of processing time and not is a depth of reading?

No, but if you are playing a timed game, and gnugo has, for example, 30 seconds to think about a move, a faster processor will allow it to do more calculations in that time. I don't believe that the levels are explicit reading depth maximums or anything so simple.

You may be able to find something on it in their documentation:
