claim:verbose-reasoning-chains-are-not-required-for-strong-playVerbose reasoning chains are not required for strong play.
G3-F uses 275k tokens per game while G3.1-FL uses 14.8k, yet both rank top; token volume alone does not predict strategic quality.

finding
- Token usage varies roughly 20× across models, from ~14,800 (G3.1-FL) to ~275,000 (G3-F) per gamesupportsReasoning verbosity does not predict strategic strength: both top and weak models span a wide range of token usage.
