Re: [Bug-gnubg] Benchmark database

[Joseph Heled]

My thinking was (and it was only my judgement, non tested, so could be
wrong) is that a benchmark consisting of computer only positions would
be more biased than one with some human input. Note that human input
can go both ways; first you get positions arising from bad plays, and
second you may get to positions from good plays the computer does not
recognises (i.e. more backgames, say)
