I found out that for a human tournament the program works very well.

But for human matches it could be argued that they require specific paramenters
- also in spite of the fact the Bobby Fischer won 18 games against the world
elite in a row (unforgetten his 6-0 wins against Larsen and Petrosjan).
Unfortunately there not enough games to find out the specific parameters.

I think psychological matters play a huge role in the human matches (fortunately
computers are not effected, are they? :-)).

Best regards,
Christoph
