No offence but I don't see how 10 games per program is statistically
relevant either. Especially when it produces a score like 9-1 with
Hiarcs 7.32.

What was the hardware? I see the above statement
but I'm looking for what the two Pc's were.
Were the winboard programs run in a CB gui?
Were the CB programs all using their own books?
Were the CB programs opening books optimized.
Where can I download all these games?
I am interested in a few of these scores and will run some
games also.

Sarah.
