Hi Chris,

with today wide opening books and learning features, a in order to have a
somewhat correct idea of their strenght, a customer needs to play at least 80
games.
The reason is that if one program finds an opening that puts in trouble the
opponent will play it again until the opponent finds a way to escape and this
will take some games. This would effect the score a lot in a few games.

A different thing is to compare the program evaluation looking the scores, the
searching time, displayed move sequences etc... with previous versions.
