Jorge,

In a 40 game match, to state with 95% level of significance that SmarThink is
stronger than Ruffian, SmarThink would have to win the match 26:14.

Otherwise you cannot STATISTICALLY prove that it is the stronger engine - i.e.
if Ruffian were to finish with 14.5 points there is still a change that if you
continued the experiment over 1,000 games it would get a higher score than
SmarThink.
