AI Kyu strength estimation?
Can anyone tell me a rough estimation of how strong GnuGo is at level 10... and how strong Hybrid AI might be at level 1 ?
I win against GnuGo 10, but lose by about 10 points against Hybrid AI 1. So where would you put my strength in terms of kyu ranks?

The AI's relative performance depends on a lot of factors. Computer specs, board size, time controls, AI settings etc. Compound that with the fact that there is no standardized global ranking system (OGS, KGS, AGA, Tygem, China, Japan, Korea etc. all have different ranks for a given skill level) and it becomes difficult to give a meaningful and specific kyu/dan rank. In general, Hybrid 1 will beat GnuGo 10 most of the time, but not always. GnuGo 10's odds in the matchup are higher on 9x9 than they are on 19x19. Both make mistakes that the other can take advantage of which can turn the tides of the match. With all of that being said, you're probably looking at somewhere around 6-8 kyu.

Thanks for that feedback. Well, I consider myself a rusty 9 kyu, with some potential to 8 kyu (based on my OGS ratings). So your estimate is pretty much what I hoped for :)
