[computer-go] an idea for a new measure of a computer go program's rank.

[Nick Apperson]

the thing about blunders is that frequently one player making ablunder
causes the other player to make one as well.  For instance if one player
plays somewhere that can be ignored.  Frequently the other player will not
ignore it.  BOth are making blunders relative to perfect strategy but it is
very common.  And many times a sequence will be played out like this with
lots of the traded moves being blunders.  It is however more reasonable to
look at the choice to follow a sequence as the blunder and the choice of the
opponent to play it out a blunder.  That is 2 blunders not 30 if the
sequence is 30 moves.  In my opinion atleast.
