What is this "talent" that has the most impact on success?
Lee Changho falls short on that.

Quick note: An average of 10 was meant over the entire world population. I think most active go players will score higher than that, as they already have an interest in mind sports to begin with
Also, I think that any starting age over 30 can pretty much be considered as 30 for purpose of the formula, the A/2 was mostly meant to reflect the advantage of starting as a kid or (to some extent) a student.

Small tip: use "operatorname{Age}" instead, so that it doesn't look like it's just three variables multiplied together. It's how things like sin, cos, and log are implemented.

Could someone provide a tutorial on how to use this formula?
What does Qs, Ts and other stuff mean? (link is in the first post is broken)

"Warning: this is for fun. It's not scientific or academic".
Vg = (Qs*(Ts+Qp))**(Tg/(Age+L))
Vg = Speed in improving your baduk skills.
(units not given )
Qs = Quality of sources (teachers, books, playing partners). 1 to 5 scale where 5 is extremely good.
Ts = Time of study. Average time you are investing a day. 1 point for five minutes.
Qp = Quality of playing. Average number of games you play a day. 5 points per game.
Tg = Natural talent in Go. 1 to 5 scale where 5 is as talented as professionals.
Age = A player's current age.
L = A player's current level of Go. 1 to 30 scale where 7d is 30.

Formula is weird. I get around 1.1-1.3 with changing the values (not the age and rank).
So this means no matter how much I am good and how much I study per day I will improve at about a stone per year?
However I tried it for some young Chinese 10 year old kid and I got up to 2.75 stones per year, meaning around the age of 15 they would turn pro which does make sense.
