from http://www.xg-mobile.com/help.html#level

How strong are the different levels?

  • Champion plays noticeably stronger than the top players in the world (PR=0.55). it will make a small mistake every 4.5 games and a blunder every 90 games.
  • Professional plays stronger than the top players in the world (PR=1.32).
  • Expert plays as strong as the top players in the world (PR=2.06).

    How does the XG mobile level relate to eXtreme Gammon (desktop) levels?
    XG Mobile Neural network and implementation is very similar to the one on eXtreme Gammon. However, there are slight differences and it very slightly weaker: XG mobile champion plays at a PR of 0.55, while eXtreme Gammon 3-ply equivalent plays at PR 0.50.

  • Champion is equivalent to 3-ply
  • Professional is equivalent to 2-ply
  • Expert is equivalent to 1-ply

    Why eXtreme Gammon (desktop) stronger levels are not available in XG mobile?
    eXtreme gammon strongest level (XGRoller++) would surely be nice to have on iPhone and iPad. However, at the current time, these devices are not powerful enough to handle the huge amount of calculations needed for these levels. XGRoller++ is 450 times slower than 3-ply (Champion). On an iPad 2, it would take about 4 minutes to get an answer.
    In the future, as the devices get faster, and if we can find better way to optimize for ARM processor, maybe these levels will find their way to the iPhone and iPad.
