Yes. I only report on 19x19 games.

Yes we could, but I guess I only consider the full boards
as the correct test.

We often run a small board game when we implement a new
feature or algorithm or test a bug fix, but if it looks right we go
back to full boards for determining the real result.

I cannot see any point in playing a large number of games
against MF on a small board unless we are just trying to
chase down a rare end-game bug ... and we have not had
one of those for a while.


Cheers,
David
