No, and that's the point.xed_over wrote:Based on Ed's feeling that he plays 2-4 stones weaker in blitz games, wouldn't that be more or less true for everyone else too? That's the primary reason for wanting separate ratings, correct?
Some people would play 2-4 stones weaker (in absolute terms) like Ed, others 3-5 weaker, and still others 1-2 weaker.
This, by the way, is why most of the stronger MCTS bots are using accounts with a relatively fast clock. If the hardware is powerful enough to get then over the hump (below a certain amount of playouts, MCTS becomes erratic) that optimizes their performance relative to humans. With longer clock settings they would play a bit stronger in absolute terms but "diminishing returns" sets in quickly. So in the range of time being considered, they gain less than humans given the additional time.
Out of these time ranges, could be quite different.
