[computer-go] 19x19 Go, scalability with time vs handicap

[compgo123 at aol.com]

I think I know what the problem is, even though I'm not as confident as before. These are tournament games. There are large variations between playing levels of the same rank from different locations. I think the IGS or KGS data will be more convincing, because the rating there is more accurate. Data bellow 6k should not be used, because playing level improves too fast.
 
By the way Japnese player Yoda is one of the persons has more win than loss against Lee.

For kyu players 2 handicap does not mean very much.
For dan players the difference becomes more significant.
Nice stats on even game

For pro i have been told that Lee Chang Ho is 2 points stronger than one of
his favorite partner but has more than 70% victory, and he considers improving
his game play by 2 points a workload for one life :)
