Good but AI ranking not "real world" – Igowin HD Review

Go is notoriously hard for computers, but the AI on Igowin is one of the best, and the iPad implementation is wonderful. Well worth the money! However, I take issue with the developers claim that the ranking you get from the AI is anything close to your real world ranking. On KGS I'm 10 kyu, on Pandanet I'm 13 kyu, but on a 19x19 board I'm able to easily beat the AI at 5 kyu. The developer does a disservice to an otherwise great product in making such a claim. That the AI can play such a strong game on a full board is still very impressive.
