[computer-go] CGOS 5 minute server

[Christian Nilsson]

Hello all,

I've recently unleashed a few versions of my program "Haste" on CGOS.
Seeing their ratings sparked a bit of curiosity about the relative
ratings they achieved. In self-play ( thousands of games ) they differ
by more than twice as many ELO-points as on the server.

I know it's bad to use self-play as a measure of improvement... but
I'd still like to know if anyone else is seeing this rather large
difference in self-play vs. CGOS. After all, most programs on CGOS
appear to be using MonteCarlo/UCT with either light, medium or heavy
playouts. Making them similar in many ways.
