Cool topic Araban! I know I'm kind of late in posting my answer, but I'll give it anyways (without having read any of the posts here). In my defense if I'm seriously wrong, I only briefly skimmed over these games. One only has so much time during working hours :).

Without further ado, these games were played by:

1: KGS 14k
==> Lots of elementary mistakes, also in fighting.
2: KGS 7d
==> Crazy opening, extremely difficult fighting. Seems too difficult for me to understand without proper studying :)
3: KGS 7k
==> Direction of play is often wrong, the shapes feel a bit blunt sometimes, there are some reading mistakes. But anyway, these players understand the basics of go somehow. At least, it's better than game 1 I think.
4: Pro??
==> Like game 2, this looks very difficult. Some joseki experimenting seems to be going on. Anyway, this could also be the 7d game, I'd have to study the games in more detail to determine that...
5: KGS 1d
==> There is some serious reading here and these guys are trying some new ideas, but you have the feeling the reading is not nearly as deep as in game 2 and 4. Seems to be somewhere around my level, I would say.


I hope there is some accuracy here ^^

EDIT: way to go for me to claim that Zhou Ruiyang and Chen Yaoye play "around my level"... Next time I'll study the games a bit better :)
