The MCG challenge - a question

In Response To: The MCG challenge - a question (Marv Porten)

If the bot is playing with a 0.0 ER, what will MCG's ER have to be in order for him to be the favorite?

I don't know what it has to be -- that is, how low it could be with Matt still winning. But Matt doesn't need a low ER to beat a bot. In three shorts sessions I played in October against Gnubg with the intention of exploiting its cube and strategy weaknesses, my results were:

Games	Points Won	Snowie-equivalent error rate
9	+10	-18.55
10	+14	-25.63
29	+30	-24.30
