I don't think there is an informal answer. If you present me with a way 
(preferably as code in C or python or whatever) which divides BG 
positions into sub categories, I can run this against my benchmark and 
see if anything comes up.

The way the new net was contained is described in my web page. Nothing 
has really changed. The net is the result of training of 605,000 
positions obtained over many weeks of work. The improvement seems to 
have platued there.
