I did something similar to this on GD a while ago and the response was great. A lot of people participated and it was overall very fun so I thought it would be nice to try it again and see just how well people are at judging the strength level of certain games. For those who don't know how to play, the rules are quite simple. Below you will see 5 games. The objective is to determine how strong the players in each of the game are. The players' ranks in the games are as follows:
- Professionals (both are top 10 in their countries)
- KGS 5d
- KGS 1d
- KGS 7k
- KGS 14k
As you can see, the gaps between each level are quite large - so people should have no problem figuring out which game belongs to which strength group...right?
Personally, my feelings are that a lot of Go players don't have such a great sense (despite what kibitzers will tell you) of how strong the players are in a game, so prove me wrong
. Answers will be posted after the thread winds down (or will it even kick off as well as last time?).
Game 1
Game 2
Game 3
Game 4
Game 5
