Sorry but not counting repeated games is not a good way to get an estimate for
the strength of the engine.
It may give an advantage to the program that does not learn.

Suppose that the engine that learns is good in games that begin with 1.e4 and
repeats it again and again.

It get only one point for 1.e4 because the oppponent repeats the same loss when
it could get more points in case that the opponent try different options.
