Subject: Computer Tournaments... WHY?

I know that every year we promote "The Winner of This Tournament" and
"The Winner of That Tournament".

It is great for selling programs, but what does it REALLY mean?

Most of these tournaments are 6 rounds or 8 round or 10 rounds, and the
results, although of interest, really do not tell us anything except
Program #1 was luckier than Program #2 in this particular tournament.

Ed decided that this process was not for him. I, personally, give him
credit for his decision.
