But >I'll bite anyway. What five games are you talking about? My mistake. The programs played 8 games. I thought it was the classical swiss format where it takes only log2(entries) to complete. The log base 2 of 32 is 5. Since there were 8 games, I am not sure what format was in place. In any case, 8 games is pretty slim also. If the programs are about equal, it will take a very high number of games to find out who is really stronger. But since you asked "which 5?" I'll say the first 5 of "deep-junior/deep-fritz" Or the last 5. Take your pick.
