Perhaps a stupid question, but let me ask it for my own interest. You give a
couple of types with different results and then after 160 games each you get
different results (one time some 50 points difference) and then I've read the
item "ponder=off"; do you know something about the importance of that factor?
I'm thinking about the importance of that aspect for say FRITZ with its
tradition or better experience. Please dont go into all details, just give me a
short estimation for the importance.  Without knowing the answer, I see three
critical points: ponder off, 160 games and difference of 50 points between two
special types.

[[Hey, dont even start to reflect something wrong I could have in mind. For me
the fact of writing this message is enough for my engagement. If you decide that
I'm too inexperienced then better leave it aside. I made this add-on because I
want to avoid a repetition of the known rgcc quarrels also between the two of
us. I'm really not interested to read the typical bashing. Sorry. My message is
also NOT directly meant for you, all I tried to do is pointing at these aspects.
What people can do good with it is outside of my realm. From stats I know that
these aspects do count. That knowledge is enough for me. I finally made this
remark because I'm a bit disappointed how something so apparently wrong got
support from notable experts here this afternoon, so that I could expect that
it's not even allowed here to make such reflections in CCC. Who knows.]]
