great! that's a good spot. and we can give handicaps to weaker players if
it looks like this (missing oppoent) will not happen very enough as we
would like.
I neglected to mention that the last stable version of SlugGo played
statistically even against Many Faces of Go when giving MFG a 4 stone
handicap. We have made lots of changes since then and are beating back the
minor bugs; we will start collecting statistics against MFG "real soon now."
that's fine. from the point of view of the players who may be playing them,
it's better to have different ranks, since more weaker players will get to
play even games or get a smaller handicap.
