Blitz/Rapid/ >Long/1 min/move+/- ? Hi George. I have a question. I am not a mathematician and I'm sure many who visit here aren't either. Why is 600-700 games the magic number? Dann Corbit explained that mathematics will draw the line as to how many games it would take to show which program is stronger. If after 100 games one program is trounced could one not with reasonable assurance say one program plays chess better than the other? What would be the mathematical formula for wins and losses after 100 games to say with reasonable assurance that program A is stronger than program B? What if one program won 85 out of one hundred games with no only 5 draws? Thanks.
