No need to have another endless debate about what it takes to prove that program X is better than Y. Bob's terms were 10 games and I gave him 10 games. >I think that it may be more interesting if there was a date when latest public >Stobor could do better than latest public Crafty(not only in matches between it >and crafty but also against other opponents). That'll be hard because there has never been a public version of Stobor. I've given copies to people I trusted under special circumstances and it seems that one of those got leaked somehow. I'm pretty disappointed about that. Who knows what's going on with that version, but I wouldn't read much into its results. -Tom
