Cannot reproduce b28 rating game resign conditions about katago HOT 2 CLOSED

Do you have the correct rules set? This game has tax=ALL. White has 1-2 groups, while black has 4 groups, so White will be relatively more ahead in group tax rules than in normal rules.

For parity, this is just resignation, right? A player checks whether they want to resign only on their own turn. (A bit of a quirk is that the MCTS search that sees the final consecutive winrate to resign also generated a move, so the SGF may still contain the move of the resigning player, instead of the resignation replacing the move).

I fell for the rule set trick sorry! I thought that all rating games are played with the same rule set, thought it was Chinese. So I didn't pay attention...

Re game length parity, if one assume a much stronger net, it make sense to assume that it has a better understanding of the game status and will be each time the first to initiate the resignation check cycle. I was simply not expecting 18b to be that systematically behind in this evaluation.

In fact, did observed the same super strong correlation for a recent 18b net (rating games still include lot of games vs weaker 40b/60b where the same thing happens).

Thanks for your clarification 👍
